EP22: Wooden wheels and iron men, Bear Claw and Jaws, eating shark and crash dives
David Helms grew up in a large family in Nebraska. Being a ballistic missile submarine sailor was his dream since he was in the 6th grade. He got his chance after almost failing out — twice. Then the real adventures began, eating shark shot by a machine gun and surviving a crash dive after a shipmate lost it. All in a day’s work.
