Submariners - A couple of questions.
Just this evening watched a fascinating programme about submarines but it didn't say a whole lot about submariners.
At what point in their career, be they upper or lower deck to submariners get to wear the dolphins on their chest and do they keep them even if they go back to surface ships?
Heard a lot of reference to the command course for sub mariners and the effect it may have on a career if the course is failed, is this fact and does it apply equally to commands on surface vessels?
Thanks.
