 This week on All Hands magazine online, take a look at a day inside the life of machinist-mate first-class Brandon Hale as he keeps the submarine USS San Francisco moving. I don't mind being on submarines, actually I love being on submarines. I'm very proud to serve my country and I'm very proud to say that. I'm a Submariner and I'm a machinist-made onboard the San Francisco. I've been in the Navy 11 years. I'm a machinist-made Brandon Charles Hale. With a such small crew, we do everything. We fight fires together. Everybody knows each other's job. Everybody's pretty close. Once you submerge the ship and the hatches are closed, that's pretty much your family for however long you're deployed for. I love being a machinist-made because it's a tight-knit group. Pretty much everybody's familiar with each other's situations and I like that. Every job is important. Every raid is important on board the ship. But without Xillary Division, without machinist-mates, I really don't think we can get anything accomplished.
