My son looked into being a submariner....he told them that he would be willing. I think that he was kind of relieved when he found out that the Navy isn't sending him that route though. I didn't realize they had to go to sub-school for that, but it definitely makes sense! It certainly sounds intense! It would be so good if your son could come home for a little bit afterwards, but yeah; no need to get excited until you actually see it! I definitely got a kick out of the "written....in blood" comment! :D

Mine really didn't want subs when he first signed. He was assigned aviation, but then his ship date was delayed in a way that made him need to choose a different rating. The only one available was subs. He is about 6 foot tall....my advice was to duck before going through the doors. They say the most of the subs are really not really much smaller than the other ships.

Sorry, whitmae, not adopting anyone with the last name of G. I wish we were able to adopt more than just 2 SR's. The last name my son gave me started with O.

Oh it's no problem! I was just curious is all. Good chance it's an organization who adopts him.

I got a letter from my son today! He is doing well. He is excited that all of us moms/GF's have found each other. He said they start working on live firing this week.

Proudmomma94....glad you heard from your son. He may not be stretching the way he needs to....I doubt they really emphasize that when they are doing the intense PT. Maybe he can do so,e stretching of his back when he is in bed at night. Hope it gets better soon and he doesn't need to go to medical

Thanks Carla, I will mention that to him in my letter. He really seemed more concerned with letting us down than anything. Can you believe that, him letting me down? How absurd!! I am so proud of him no matter what that my chest swells with pride and joy every time I think of him. I am sure he will be fine, but I still worry.
