I had a neighbor that was interviewed by Rickover. He told me about his interview. Rickover asked him why he wanted to be in “his” Nuclear Submarine program. My neighbor said that he was in the top 5 of the Naval Academy and was studying Nuclear Engineering because that was his passion and the fact that it was “his” program was inconsequential. Rickover screamed “PUT HIM IN THE BOX!” And the proceeded to throw pens and pencils at my neighbor while two guards dragged him away and put him in a closet with a single stool and a hanging lightbulb. He sat there for two hours after which they opened the door and asked if was ready to be respect-full to the Admiral. He finished the interview and got the job.
