Volume 1 of All Me Blooming Life is an autobiographical account of a Cold War Naval Career. Captain Hyland, a third generation graduate of the Naval Academy, grew up in a Navy family and spent his active duty career as a nuclear submariner. He served six sea tours, three in SSBNs and three in SSNs. He commanded USS Abraham Lincoln (SSBN-602) from 1978 to 1981 and USS Sam Houston (SSN-609) from 1981 to 1983. Ashore his assignments included tours as an Olmsted Scholar, on the Navy and DOD staffs, and as Naval Attaché in Paris.
