My son, Jon is a Nuke and a MM1 aboard the USS Columbia in Honolulu, HI. Jon joined USS Columbia in December 2005. He has served in the Navy for 5 1/2 years.

Aloha! My soon to be son-in-law Logan is on the USS Columbia , stationed out in Hawaii at Pearl Harbor and he's an A-ganger. My family was stationed out there (at Hickam) for 4 years (just left last July 08) and we miss it very much. Luckly, I get to go back next month for the wedding and my hubby goes there quite a bit TDY and sometimes I get to go with... :) Lucky wife! *L*
My thoughts & prayers are with all our crews who are underway at this time.... -

I went and deleted the group once I found out they are one of only TWO sub's that carry the seals... Per guidelines on here, no info can be given out regarding any type of seals and or their missions, and transportation.. So I'm waiting on Elle to give me the OK on re-creating the group.

Pam,
Is your son on the Blue or Gold crew? My son is on the Pennsylvania too. He is a chief Missile Tech on the Gold crew. Finally, I have found someone on one of my son's ships!! -

My son Jonathan is also on the Pennsylvania as a Sonar Tech.
Some days are harder for me than others...but that is to be expected. Sometimes it is having him away from home or out to sea, that is difficult. Other times it is watching the maturing process and wishing he didn't have to learn things the hard way. I had to learn things the hard way when I was his age, so I shouldn't be surprised. I guess letting go is a maturing process for us too.
God Bless our boys. -

Welcome!! Is he on the Blue crew or the Gold crew? Your son looks so YOUNG!! My son Scott (the one on the sub) just turned 35. He is a Chief now and I am so proud of him! My youngest is 19 and is still in Great Lakes at A school for ET. He is almost done...should finish some time in August.

I believe he is on the Green team? Josh came home on leave in May for my birthday. It is hard not hearing from him.
