Quote HistoryQuoted: We used to get 10 forms to give to family with 50 blank spaces on them for family grams (name and rank got subtracted out of the 50). The opposite crew screened and uploaded them, and the XO (and/or COB) on the ship screened them before you got it in hand. You were doing well to get 6 or 7 in a 10 week patrol. I got pulled aside one day and asked "who is Missy?" by the XO. Missy was my parent's lab. The message in question included "Missy disappeared 5 days. Came home stinking of diesel and whiskey." She'd fallen into an oil drain pit in someone's barn. Anything sexy would get the name redacted and posted outside crews mess. I remember someone's wife sent something about missing Monday Night Football that was amazingly phrased and got the whole crew worked up. She was a gifted poet. And like I said, we had orders to cover scheduled HF voice transmissions from time to time as part of routine business. When the def-con ratcheted up, those bands would go in availability. "alfa velvita knuckle underwear sphincter spider mucous ringworm. I repeat alfa velvita...." with a paper shredder running in the background, and the signal fading in and out. Picture DX from turbo prop. Typed a few of those in my day. And made some phone calls about them too. One lady had a cat named Snatch. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: VLF. There are Naval Radio Stations, like Jim Creek in Western Washington that transmit globally through the Earth's crust. That message says send up your buoy. The buoy gets a satellite burst transmission, or burst transmission from the E-6 TACAMO aircraft and it's on! Stay in your lane flyboy!

What did all those radio towers they used to have in Maryland, right across from the Naval Academy do?
Local lore was that they had something to do with submarine communications. They took them down several years ago, I guess, but they always make a good landmark when sailing in the Chesapeake back in the 90's. |

There’s a radio tower in the Rockies that is continually transmitting on a low frequency, 2.0189 khz.
If it ever goes silent for more than 24 hours, subs open the safe and break out OPLAN 1818-2, launch everything except one missile on Russia, save one for China, Iran, DPRK or Pakistan depending on what’s in the envelope, then head for New Zealand. The annex to the plan provides for heading to Norway in 3 years to find surviving women. We cannot allow there to be a mine shaft gap!

Jim Creek was one of the dozen facilities I was responsible for. I'll grant you that you probably know more about VLF transmitter sites than I do as I've never visited one. But as a guy who has a few strategic detergent (work it may, shine it must) patrols under his belt, ran the LANTFLT submarine broadcasts (including ELF) for 3 years and has been on the receiving end of TACAMO and ABNCP missions, it's a little more of my lane. I was also a towed buoy antenna maintenance technician.

AND! I am famously known for my role during a fire drill as Injured Man in his Rack. So much so that an entire fire team felt the urge to speak up and say that there would be no future need for such roles in the future, so convincing and bold was my portrayal. And thus afterward, the script was re-written for a new character; Injured (and Clothed Man who Uses Neither Clothespins nor Excessive Smut) in his Rack.
