Return to me, Small Arms Petty Officer, in ATR 

Here I am in Tubes Aft, again, having put together the Colt 45 pistol in the previous photo, after reassembling it.

This is in the After Torpedo Room while submerged on our 55 day patrol. The duties I did here helped pass time away after I qualified for my Dolphins. 

Before that, most of my free time was spent tracing out each oil, water, ballast sea water, and fuel drop throughout the submarine, as well as tracing each electron, and qualifying on each piece of equipment, each duty for each station for surfacing and submerging, etc.
