<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <em><strong>When you stand at the crossroads of life, close your eyes before you step. You do not need them. Your road has already chosen you ...</strong></em> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Part 2.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to enter the Higher Naval Engineering School in the closed military city Sevastopol, it was necessary to have an order from the local military commissariat. Thanks to this order, I was also able to buy a railway ticket (it was very difficult at that time) and a day later I saw the sea for the first time in my life. It seemed to me a huge moving monster that smelled of algae. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I liked my city for its cleanliness. The real adventure was a trip on a boat to the Bay of Holland. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And here I am at the Higher Naval Engineering School. The attentive officer who accepted the documents asked if I knew that it was a Naval School for submariners. The question surprised me. I read the brochure to the holes, but there was not a single word about any submariners. I decided to remain silent. Examinations did not frighten me, because I just finished school with honors. The problem was that I studied at the Ukrainian school. And at the exam I had to answer in Russian. It was very difficult. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Suddenly, another problem arose. In the questionnaire, I honestly pointed out the nationality of my father. He was Hungarian. The same polite captain of the first rank with alarm in his voice said that I can not pass the credentials commission. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By this time the last test was announced. It was a pressure chamber. Some had blood from the ears and nose after it. They were decided not acceptable. And I liked a pressure chamber: it was dark and quiet, like in the bedroom of our boarding school. So I fell asleep there. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I opened my eyes only when the old midshipman began to shake me by the shoulder. "Are you feeling bad?" - he asked anxiously. "Oh no, sorry, I just fell asleep" - I replied. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This event "saved" my personal data. The rumor of a newcomer asleep in the pressure chamber quickly spread through the school. At the credentials committee, when my documents were to be put in the pile "not acceptable", but someone remembered this event and under the general laughter my documents was there, where necessary. They decided, let me study, and then they'll see. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This "will see" was recalled to me in four years, when the officer of the special department of the Higher Naval Engineering School advised me to be sent down "quietly" and continue my studies at a civilian university. He said that it would be better for everyone. By the time I was a member of the national rowing school and had the title of Master of Sports. I see myself as a trainer more than as a submarine officer. After demobilization from the armed forces, the Higher Naval Engineering School gave me a recommendation for the sports university, where I was immediately taken to the third year course.&nbsp;</p>
