My son Patrick will graduate on July 30th and I believe he will have 2 weeks home in Texas with us and then he will be stationed in Guam USS HOUSTON ET/COM. So does anyone have a son that will be going on the same sub as my son?

Sue - There's no predictable time for classing up or another way of saying it is when the beginning of MT classes start. It could be much less than two months. From what I can tell, it depends on "the pipeline" - how fast the classes already start...

Hi I'm Kimberly Foster and I live in Lawton too. My son joined 4 and a half years ago and he loves it. He is an Airman and is trying to get stationed at Tinker. I sure hope he gets those orders so I can finally see him. It's been a year and a half. Its good to meet people from lawton who have someone in the Navy. I hope to hear from you. Best wishes

hi again! thanks for the feedback. i'm sorry i gave the impression that i have a daughter going in the navy. it is actually my son going in and training to be a firefighter. i think i may have mentioned that i was helping my daughter move into her new apt. today, but it is my boy steven, that is going. hope i didn't confuse you. but i get the gist of your info whether it is boy or girl and yessssss! i will cherish those phone calls. i may not be able to afford a trip to the graduation, but my son told me that if he had earned enough money there, he would send me a ticket out. that made me cry!!! and i am somewhat familiar with "the box" situation, only on non military terms. unforttunately, my oldest son is in prison for a verrrry long time and all i have of him at home is " a box". that's what makes my other son leaving so much more difficult for me to deal with. i am going for a 10 hour round trip drive to see him in 2 weeks after 6 months of not seeing him. that, and working too, and my husband and i don't have the same days off and our other kids in sports makes it a very busy life. i have 2 others in college. it's hard to stay on top of all these things and deal with emotions too. my anniversary and 30 year class reunion are next saturday and 2 weeks from now we are having a banquet for the 2 basketball teams my husband and navy son coached. heeeeeeeeeeeeelp! i'm gonna go bonkers! my husband was also a navy man for 4 years and then went army for 4 years before i met him. he knows military life, i don't. look for part 2 !
