Episode 006 | Cory Kammerdiener | Beneath the Surface | U.S. Navy Submariner & Electronic Technician

What is life really like beneath the ocean's surface? For more than 12.5 years of military service, Cory Kammerdiener answered that question as a U.S. Navy submariner. Serving aboard the USS Drum, the USS Dolphin, and with the Near Term Mine Reconnaissance (NMRS) program, Cory experienced a side of military service that few people ever see. In Episode 006 of Veterans Unmasked, Cory takes us inside the world of the Silent Service, sharing stories of emergency situations aboard submarines, the realities of serving underwater for months at a time, and the brotherhood forged beneath the surface. During this conversation, Cory discusses: ⚓ Life aboard U.S. Navy submarines ⚓ The culture of the Silent Service ⚓ A collision with a Panamanian cargo ship ⚓ Flooding in the engine room ⚓ A dangerous hydrogen sulfide leak ⚓ The transition from military service to civilian life ⚓ Building a successful business after the Navy ⚓ The value of the VA Home Loan and veteran benefits Today, Cory is the owner of HOMEROCK Realty, where he continues serving others by helping families achieve homeownership while remaining a strong advocate for the veteran community.
