I haven't seen too many photos of Rickover in uniform, he looks strange being in one.

I know 20+ chiefs who will swear the khakis were theirs. and 19+ would be telling the truth!

Our Father, who art in Fission, Hyman be Thy Name.

Thy Reactor Plant Manuals come.

thy Quals be done, on Subs as they are on Surface.

Give us this Day our daily Critique.

And Forgive Us all our Flails as we forgive those who Flail against us.

Not to re-enlist but deliver us from Khaki.

For Thine is the Honor, Courage and Commitment forever and ever.    Amen

 

My heroes wear dog tags, not shoulder pads
