Vicki, I live in Grovetown. It is by Augusta boardering up to Ft. Gordon. I am retired from the Navy as is my husband. My son Barry is a "Bubble Head" out of Bangor, WA. He is getting ready to go out for another 90 days. He, as I are pretty used to that though. When my son joined, I was not only his mother but I was also his recruiter. My sons first oath when he went to boot camp was the same day and time I took my last oath for my last 3 years till I retired. So, I think I have a unique outlook on the service, children in the service and what to expect and how to handle different situations that may come up.

Vicki - that is really cool that yu were your son's recruiter! You do have a unique outlook that many folks have not had an opportunity to be exposed to. So glad that you are here to share with us.

Hi Danielle-B's mom , a 'Bubble Head' rides subs. There are 'Fast Attack' subs that have no real set schedule for sailing and there are 'Boomers' which typically are out to sea for 90 days at a time. Boomers have 2 crews, one is the Blue and the other is the Gold crew. My son rides Boomers so he sorta has a schedule for being out to sea. I hope this helped
