#21: Unique Submarine Volunteers

As one anonymous ex-Reddit user put it, volunteering for submarine duty attracts a rare kind of individual. They likened the experience to “prison with good friends,” capturing the strange mix of confinement and deep camaraderie that defines life underwater.

Those who choose this path—and stick with it—tend to walk a fine line between rock-solid dependability and a touch of madness. It takes someone grounded and unhinged to thrive in a steel tube beneath the ocean for months.
