Due to the generosity of Kevin A, a number of yelpers were able to tour the USS Nebraska stationed…read moreBangor Navy Base. The USS Nebraska's keel was laid down in May 26, 1987 ; it was launched on August 15, 1992 and commissioned on July 10, 1993. The sub is home to 1 of two crews for a typical deterrent mission under the MAD strategy for an average of 77 days. Each crew consists of ~17 officers, ~15 petty officers and ~122 enlisted men. The USS Nebraska has completed 18 deterrent missions as of September of 2010. This is the second Navy Ship to honor the State of Nebraska. Duty rotation for the crew is 18 hours with 6 hours at the primary duty station, ~6 hours of other duties. However, officers, however, typically are on for 14 hours or longer. This is the routine for the entire tour of duty. Aside from 24 Trident Ballistic missiles complete with MIRVs (Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicles), the sub features 4 forward torpedo tubes. 4 of the 18 Ohio class submarines are designed SSGNs and are equipped with cruise missiles instead of Trident Missiles. The tour allowed us to see the silos and torpedo bay including the control rooms for each. We also the Mess, the Ward room, the Petty Officers room, the berths of various personal and the bathrooms. The Control center and sonar rooms as well as misc machine rooms were part of the tour. The only areas pretty much off-limits to the friends and families touring the Nebraska was the engine room, nuclear reactor room and sail. We were treated to lunch which was 2 star food with 5 star service. During deployment, the kitchen is active 24/7 and the lunch we were served seemed to reflect what was served on board Kudos to the men (and soon woman) who go on watch on this sub.

Poulsbo is small but packs a big punch in terms of charm. The city planners have made considerable…read moreeffort to make the town walkable and attractive. There is a lot of free public parking. I would say, however, that at peak tourist season in August parking can be tight. There are numerous eating options. There are art galleries, artisan souvenir shops, a bakery, chocolatier, a book store, and several apparel stores. Of course there are bars and wineries. The big surprise is that this is a "Norwegian" town with flags up and down the main streets. Who knew? As you turn into the town there is a large viking statue that says "welcome" in Norwegian. There are lots of Norwegian-themed stores and restaurants. Since I've been to Norway four times, I have watched a lot Viking shows on the History channel. I have never seen any description of Vikings in the Pacific Northwest. No one in town seems to know how or why the Vikings arrived. So that a mystery to me. Overall, Poulsbo is both livable and an attractive place to spend a day as a tourist. People are friendly and happy. I understand why.

We absolutely loved all the decorative buildings and Scandinavian food offerings. Very clean and people friendly. Highly recommend.

Our closest choice is either the Silverdale or Port Angeles offices. I have been to both. In the future I will be driving to the Port Angeles office. I have never had any problems with Social Security until the other day. Everything ran smoothly. What is it with folks these days? Are they unhappy with their jobs so they want to ruin your day too? I was barely allowed to get 2 words out. I had to quietly walk out. The world has lost all dignity and decorum. Professionalism is out the door. I highly advise staying away from Window #2 in their Silverdale office and head out to Port Angeles. I know it's a longer drive but trust me, it's the better choice.

Street parking right next to the entrance was convenient and available. I believe there is also a parking garage. Most importantly though - the STAFF! They were so friendly. Big smiles. Very efficient. I was in and out within 10 mins or less. Such a great experience! Side note: They only conduct passport appointments on Tuesdays and there is usually about a 1-2 month wait for an appointment. However, you can add yourself to the cancellation list and they very actively contact those on the list to fill cancellations, usually with a day or so of notice. Overall, HIGHLY recommend this office for passports.
