DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Gloria, You had a great idea starting this group - the STS group was just too small to take off, the amount of traffic here is pretty impressive. Regarding claustrophobia - I never felt a bit of it, and never heard anyone on the boat complain about it (there were plenty of other things to b*tch about :) ) but everyone's experience is different. I think guys who have tendencies towards claustrophobia just don't volunteer for subs. It really isn't much of an issue for the guys.

Hi Maria C. Boxersox when your son first went out to sea in the sub did he feel closed in or comfortable. I was wondering if any of his submates when he started couldn't deal with being in tight areas. Just a question I was thinking about.

I check your page no pics yet I guessing they have to be approved first.

I hope thats a good thing LOL.

If you go to my page you will see more pictures of my son. I see you don't have any of your husband yet. I hope you add some so the next time my son comes home I can show him what he looks like and hopefully they know each other.

So he will have a while to go. It goes pretty fast. Remember we are here for you.

Thats he is also ET/COM. When did your hubby start A school by the way. May be they know each other.

Hi Chasity welcome. You will find many helpful moms and wifes also dads who will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Is he in A school and when is he going to finish. At about a month or so before they finish school they will let the sailors know what ports are available for them to choose. Just remember the higher he places in class then he will be able to hopefully get where he wants to go from the list. My son placed 3rd in his class so he got what he wanted. Best to you. Remember we are here for you.
