Is serving on Navy submarines the hardest job in any of the services?

I mean you are basically crammed with lots of others in a metal tube under the water for months at a time.  You never see the sun or get any fresh air during that time.  Space is at a premium.  Some sailors don't even get their own bunk and have to share.  After the first two weeks, no more fresh food.  Just canned or frozen food. 

I'd likely go stark raving made on my second or third tour.

To those who do serve on a sub, you guys are crazy and tougher than I am!

Actually you can get fresh air and see the sun while deployed, it all depends on the mission. You also don’t spend your entire time submerged. SSBN/SSGN have 2 crews that rotate every few months so when home you get time off and do classes. You have bigger berthing options and stuff happening while deployed. SSNs well they deploy longer and are smaller, sometimes the newbies do share 2 racks among 3 people but you do long days anyway you don’t notice it. Cooks on board subs are top class and know what they are doing. You won’t know it’s frozen or canned.  It isn’t for everyone you do need to be a certain mindset to do it and last.
