<p>On subs isn’t there a pan/ long drawer area right under their “beds”, similar to what photos show of sleeping areas in boot camp, to store their things in? My question is, if sailors “hot rack”on fast attack subs and share beds, do they also share the pan/drawer space? That really limits personal space to store things! Where do they store their change of clothes, toiletries, and few other things they bring on board?</p>

<p>My Sailor's boat will soon be making its last voyage to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Does anyone have any insight as to what the inactivation and decommissioning process is like for sailors, both in terms of workload and timeline, and their career and advancement?</p>

<p>I am sharing my experience so it can help or reassure anyone else should something similar happen.</p>
<p>My mother died recently. Her death was unexpected, but not altogether surprising, as she was 88 and had been in declining health.

<p>I am sharing my experience so it can help or reassure anyone else should something similar happen.</p>
<p>My mother died recently. Her death was unexpected, but not altogether surprising, as she was 88 and had been in declining health. My son was underway, and of course we did not know when they would be back. Although we knew that his return for the funeral was somewhere between highly unlikely and utterly impossible, nor would we want to detract from training and mission, we decided it was best to send a message so the Command could notify him appropriately. So I looked up the Red Cross and sent a notification request online through the <a href="http://www.redcross.org/get-help/military-families/emergency-communication" target="_blank">Red Cross Emergency Communication Service</a>. There is a checkbox whether the service member's presence is requested, and we selected "No" for that, and included a very brief note for our son about the particulars.</p>
<p>The next day, we received a brief email from our son that he had received the notification and expressing condolences. (He said it didn't seem quite real. My sentiments exactly.) A couple days later, the boat surfaced "at point X off Island Y" and through some technological magic he was able to call and talk to us at some length. He also called his grandfather, and his brother. He said they had pulled him off watch to notify him, which surprised me, as it is completely at their discretion and it could have waited. But I am very grateful for the sensitivity with which they handled this, and the importance that the Navy puts on family.</p>
<p>I was also contacted by a Red Cross volunteer, a very nice Army spouse and mom who called to see if there was anything else we needed.</p>
<p>If you need help, the Red Cross is there.</p> My son choose to be in submarine now I still pray for him graduate bootcamptag:navyformoms.ning.com,2017-08-02:1971797:Topic:102376632017-08-02T23:26:37.830Zalacricket (nuke sub mom)https://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/whatisyoucatname

He went underway for the first time for three days and just back back from a 12 day stint. The entire time he was freaking out, depressed, crying and just had a bad experience altogether (absolutely out of character). He talked to the chaplain yesterday and the psych group today who are going to get him an appointment with the psychologist. What are the real chances of him getting transferred to a surface unit? He does not want to quit nor does he want to be discharged.</p> name of sub your sailor is ontag:navyformoms.ning.com,2015-10-28:1971797:Topic:92425402015-10-28T16:27:45.568Zalacricket (nuke sub mom)https://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/whatisyoucatname

<p>My son is currently in DEP. He is considering volunteering for subs (as a YN) and he has a question. He has been researching the types of subs and thinks he has read that attack subs occasionally pull into foreign ports but boomers do not. He wants to know if this is correct? And what about guided missile subs? He would prefer a boomer or guided missile sub because he is married and he thinks this would maybe be a little easier for his wife but he knows he probably won't get to choose…</p>

And what about guided missile subs? He would prefer a boomer or guided missile sub because he is married and he thinks this would maybe be a little easier for his wife but he knows he probably won't get to choose so he is curious about ports of call. Any info would really be appreciated.</p>
