Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 14, 2020 at 3:24pm: Havasu - thanks for the update. Like JayDee said I don't believe they have to crank on a carrier but definitely on a sub since there's fewer sailors....

Here's the link to the Guam group:

Guam Moms

Comment by JayDee659 on February 14, 2020 at 2:52pm: Havasu, I'm sure you're excited about the next phase! I know that I'm always cheering my Nukes along on their next steps. My daughter is on a carrier and never had to crank. Not sure if her joining in the middle of a deployment matters or not, but she tells me that none of her fellow nukes had to crank either. My SIL is on a sub and he definitely had to crank. He didn't mind as he LOVES to cook. He did mention that as cook, he had his own rack (which was roomier than the others) and didn't have to hot rack. A nice little benefit Maybe your son will find that out also.

Good luck to him in Guam!

Comment by Havasu on February 14, 2020 at 2:44pm: Hello, and Happy Friday, everyone! I haven't been around much, but figured I should do an update on my sailor. Life has just been busy and has kept me running in different directions, so I'm sorry for not participating in the group like I should have been.

My sailor graduated prototype on the 31st of January. His soft orders for Guam were finalized yesterday and he reports there towards the end of March. I know he's going to love it there and I'm excited for him to finally get out into the fleet! He did seem suprised when I mentioned to him that many moms said their Sailors had to do crank work likely in the kitchen, trash &/or laundry until they qualified. I got a bit of a chuckle at him saying, "oh. what? really?" I know that is not the case for every sailor (and I don't think it's on the carriers?), but I read it was fairly common on subs. I'm not sure if I can/should share the boat he's been assigned to. I would say, but since I'm a bit uncertain I will leave that off for now.

Anyway, we're on to the next step in Navy life! Very exciting! I'm off to read posts and catch up with you all!

Comment by Chipmunk on February 13, 2020 at 1:59pm: B'sNukeMom - I am at my computer a lot, but just checking on what has come in since I was away, is about 20 min. away from what I was needing to work on!! Hope N stays warm as well as the rest of the team. We have sunshine and low wind for normal, so with all the layers, it wasn't too bad as long as not out too long. But we are in upper 20's, just cold for here.

I enjoy the tidbits of information everyone shares. Thanks!!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 13, 2020 at 1:50pm: Thanks Chipmunk! It helps that I sit at a computer all day!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 13, 2020 at 1:48pm: OMG NancyJo - that's cold. I just read your posted and I texted N. He said his car barely started this morning and yes it is cold! The team leaves for Ames, Iowa this afternoon and comes home Saturday. I just looked at their weather and right now it's -2 but feels like -22 - yikes!

I don't know how this CA boy is surviving in this cold lol!
