Congrats.  Now load up that submersible with
everything you need to survive for 2-3 weeks, scads of
ammunition, demolition kit, mines, etc.  Then drive it
at 35mph cross-country while loaded down with LBE,
Mask, wearing a Kevlar, and holding a rifle or machine
gun.  Then live out of the back of that submersible
with 6 other guys.  I doubt the experiences are
comprable.
