Go to fleet and famly on base and go to their spouse 101 class, ar any other classes for that matter or go to a COMPASS class i went thru compass ur there in CT it give great oppurtunities to meet new wives.. also if u have a facebook go on there and search for a groton group, i met a few people that became really good friends thru that my best friend still lives in CT which i met her on facebook in a groton sub wives group. So you just really have to be creative and open to tryign new things to meet peopel up there.. but definatly go to fleet and family and ask abotu the classes. :)

BonnieMae- Oh okay. When you get here we should get together. My Husband is here till April we think, depending on snow days they say. And we finally got our furniture and everything today!!! Been waiting since September....
Mrs. STS <3- Great! As it turns out though I won't be able to take any until January. My Grandma passed away on Thanksgiving and we flew me out that Saturday. She was a Military bride from Wales after the war and I was very close to her... -

I'm having issues but they are probably worse because I come from a completely different way of life and living situation lol. My Husband is hopping for Bangor, WA and to be on the Nevada. His second choice would be Kings Bay, Virgina. But he has been told that guys with his rate mostly get there first pick of station and the most common orders handed out are for Bangor or Groton.
Are you gonna be coming here after BESS with your Husband? -

Hey! So I am technically not a submariner's wife...he has to get through basic first...but I am trying to figure some things out and I thought I would ask you since you are a seasoned veteran..compared to this newbie anyway. My question is when did you find out that you got to move to Groton, CT with him? I would love so much any answer that you could give me...thank you so much!!:)

Ok, thank you so much! I am trying to keep my mind off of him at basic by thinking ahead, this is all so new! Have a great day:)

Lol..well his PIR is 4/22 so I still have quite a bit of time ahead of me. He left last Wednesday, and I got his form letter and box on Monday. I think I will breathe easier once I get his first real letter, no matter how down he sounds in it!:)
