Idaho and served on the fast-attack nuclear-powered submarine USS Pintado as the nuclear
reactor operator. Malcolm received the National Defense Service Medal, Meritorious Unit
Commendation, Navy Expeditionary Medal, and First Good Conduct Award. Malcolm’s submarine
service was based in San Diego and took him all over the world over the oceans and under the polar

with love that he had a glow about him, to which Malcolm replied, “Mom, I sleep next to the Trident
Nuclear missiles.”
