<p>My brother in law loves his sub buddy. They are on a very small, crew so its very family like. They have shift work hours so that makes it even smaller group. Subs have a little bit better pay sometimes I believe. Their communication some say is less, but when my husband was on deployment his internet/email communication on the ship went down for 21 days and we normally hear from the BIL atleast every 21 days.</p>

<p>My husband did 20 years on a sub and now my son is in bootcamp and going to be a sub-what are your concerns?</p>
<p>It is a great community-much smaller world than the surface Navy-</p>
<p>You should be proud of him whatever he chooses.</p>

My son is also on a submarine. There are days he loves it and days he dosen't. Submarine life is very difficult and not for everyone. Work hours are very long, and they are at sea for long periods of time with frequent deployments and training missions. There are a lot of perks to being a submariner...extra pay and faster promotions. My son loves being in the Navy and is glad he made the decision to be a submariner but is definitely looking forward to future land duty. I think your son…

My son loves being in the Navy and is glad he made the decision to be a submariner but is definitely looking forward to future land duty. I think your son has to make the decision for himself. They really give them a taste for what submariner life is like in A school. Not everyone can do it. The navy has so many options and career choices. If submarine life is not for him, I am sure he can find a job that he will like. My best advice is to pray about, and support him in the choices he makes.

Submarines are the way to go! They are very organized, very safe, and have the highest standards of training. It is hard to be out at sea (confined and cramped quarters) but much more difficult to be in port on a sub with long shifts. I believe that the food is better, the crews more disciplined and that submarines have a higher levels of good leadership. My husband was a submariner, and we have both worked for the navy for 30 + years supporting submarines with NAVSEA. We are really encouraging…

My husband will look into it for you. He is one of the XOs here. Our son is still in bootcamp and graduates in Oc. Then goes to Monterey Ca.
