We asked the question, and y’all delivered! Last week we posed on Instagram – tell us your “unpopular opinion” about submarine spouse life. We shared the responses and asked for you to weigh in. Here’s the result:
I like Groton.
Turns out not everyone thinks Groton is rotten! More proof on that, here.
I’ll take that Charleston heat and humidity over any station
Almost a 50/50 split here! Check out our Charleston content here.
