A documentary I haven't finished yet (~90 minutes) is "Operation Odessa"
-- from Showtime, but currently on Netflix.

I think "Miami Vice" bleeding into Tom Clancy may be the best way to describe it. In the 90s, when everything ex-Soviet was apparently for sale, some drug-smuggler-types attempt to buy a submarine.

There are interviews with the 3 principals and the DEA agents who were investigating them (and brought them down, I think).

Well, if it's detail you're looking for, you could do a lot worse than checking out The Chieftain's channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp4...jie44iZroCb99A

Came across this on youtube. Not often you see a Trident on Army BDUs.
Navy SEAL who became a 160th SOAR pilot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TOmDADh6U0

(Just don't let any munchkin players see this.)

Not sure how uncommon it really is (not saying it is supper common), as I have personally known three Soldiers who have a Trident. One was a recruiter for the Army Guard, One was a Green beret, and the last was one of my team leaders in EOD.

Mate of mine started in the army, transferred to air force, and was then tapped on the shoulder to go into subs for the navy....
