    Hey do you know me Fermi? Youve got me thinking now ;) Hey that news article; shocking absolutely shocking eh

    I'm not sure.

    I've got to have met in passing so many submariners from T/S/V class boats a few years ago that it all tends to blur.

    I was at training establishment on the south coast, so I saw literally hundreds of people pass through. ;)

    That article is scary. They must have been bricking it when that happened.

    Nope. I was there from 2001 to 2005.

    But there were always people coming back for courses. Sort of covered training from ratings to Captains (or higher).
