#23: Anatomy of a Typical Day

Reddit user Frogel offers a glimpse into the structured grind of life aboard a submarine. Their day starts at 10:30 AM, followed by a quick prep and a spot in the lunch line by 11:00. After eating, it’s straight into a 6-hour watch—often without breaks. Dinner rolls around, but it’s not the end of the day.
There’s still engine room cleanup and other odd jobs until about 7:00 PM. Evenings offer a short window for leisure before lights out at 11:00 PM. But rest is brief—wake-up comes early at 4:30 AM for breakfast and another round of watch duty.
