Problem Child. Drunk. …Leader?
Bud Wilson knows what he is. He’s always known. A former hockey player who loves any thrill he can reach for, he’s both one of the smartest sailors on USS Bluefish (SSN 843) and one of the hardest to handle. With a checkered career and more ability than any other sonar operator around, he’ll either save the boat or be a captain’s worst nightmare. Push him hard enough, and he’ll go for the gold and do both at once.Wilson’s drunken—and not so drunken—antics on liberty have made him a minor legend in the submarine community. He knows every trick in the book, because he’s used and abused them all. But can Wilson help other troubled sailors find their way, or is he doomed to fail alongside them?
These two stories follow Wilson’s journey from creating epic liberty incidents, to Captain’s Mast, and finally to becoming a leader in his own right. In the ongoing tradition of War of the Submarine, these short stories follow leaders as much as action.
