To think before speaking?

I wish more people did this. Myself included. It's just too easy (and common) to act off the cuff before fully processing. Great skill to acquire.

I was on a mission over in Okinawa Japan, and heading to Russian territory, and three Russian MiG-25s came to intercept me in the air. However, they could not reach our altitude, and we stayed on course.

That's amazing! Did they just give up? I can only imagine what those pilots were thinking... I'm surprised they were able to spot you and attempt to intercept you!

Did you travel illegally on any ships? i.e., were you ever a stowaway?

What's the longest duration you've "been under?" - i.e., how long were you in the sub while it was submerged and you didn't see daylight.What was it like, any worse than usual?

Thank you for doing this AMA!

What was it like when you FIRST moved to the USA? How did Americans treat you when they heard you were from Germany?
