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."

A great group to try out..... Lots of knowledge, big broad shoulders and hugs.
"Safe Harbor" A place to set down the sails and relax with each other. Whatever brings you here.. be it anxiety about your sailor, questions and fears... or just to visit.. You can be sure to find it here...Safe harbor where we chat , kick back, and offer support to each other. A place to celebrate life.. the good times and the low times.

CJsubmom - I knew about the women on subs. It will be a work in progress. From what I remember the first women to join the subs will be officers and will be on the Boomers (bigger subs that stay out for 3 month deployments). I don't think this will happen for a couple of years, but my memory could be wrong.
It will be a long while before any female officers join the Fast Attack subs. Those are the small subs that stay out for 6 month +/- deployments.
My son is an ET/Nav and has been in the Navy for over 5 years.He is in Hawaii.

My son Anthony is on the USS Jimmy Carter in Bangor, WA. He has been on the sub since 2009 and joined the Navy in Aug of 2008. But I am new to navy for moms website. How do you email your sailor on a submarine that is out to sea.

merlin80, I wish I knew how the process worked. My son just graduated from sub/A school in Groton last Thursday. I did not even know he was coming home, it was a surprise that he showed up on Sunday. When did your son finish A school? I know there are so many unknowns. I pray and hope that he will make it home for his birthday celebration.
