Hi ya'll ! My son is a "Nuke" and a MM3 on the submarine USS ALABAMA in Bangor, WA. He's been there since April 1. Lovely place, but nothing like Texas (our home)! He likes his work, but my goodness he gets FILTHY (that oil gets everywhere).

Oh, and may I sweetly and politely say that our sailors are "Machinist's" Mates (not spelled with an 'E')? Does anyone else have someone in Puget Sound? Gimme a shout... Hugs! Kaye

My Son just passed his Prototype Boards, but will remain in N.Y. to continue with another phase of his training that will allow him to do chemical testing. He is so proud of himself, and I am too :)

shirley he's been on hold for almost 4 weeks now. I think they do alot of cleaning and some duty. They have alot of free time (of course my son doesn't use it to call home). He's just so ready to start A school or leave for DC..He wants to start something.

I know all that stuff is confusing. Someone sent me a link to what the job codes are and what they do. I'm glad you got to spend time with your daughter. I can't wait to see my son. Only 17 days.
