Does anyone have a son that is a rider on the Alaska to get their qualifications?
-

Mine is going to be a rider on another sub to get his qualifications, I was hoping he would be on land for a while. This is all new to me, and is going to be hard to get use too. I heard that emails are not as frequent on a Boomer is that right?

I'm sure you already got the answer and I messaged you but he will stay on base or go on a boat before they go up there and than get a place in Portsmouth VA!
