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."

Hi Lin, I'm happy there appears to be somebody else here from Blue Crew!! My son has been through one deployment so far, and loves the Tennessee. They do have a great ombudsman, who should be contacting you soon. There is also a Facebook page for the Blue Crew, that is more active than this one.

Hi everyone! My son just graduated from Nuke school last Friday. He has orders for the USS Tennessee. We're in Florida, so we're very happy that he will be close.

Hello!! My son just got his tentative orders for the USS Tennessee. He is set to graduate from Nuke school September 18. He has wanted to be on a sub long before he actually joined the Navy. A new adventure awaits!!

Carri - go to the sub mom's group. Kinda in the middle of the page there is a section with several topics. One is about submarine mail. My understanding is that the sub has to be at a certain depth before they can receive mail. I have sent at least one short note a week. In his note he said he had received some of them ( I number them) but not all. I was just excited to hear from him. I think there are times that they can see what we have sent to them, but they are not able to respond to us. Hope you hear from yours soon.

Yeah - got an e-mail from my son!!

Carri - I sent you a friend request so we can write back and forth. In March, he will have been in his six years. He was on the USS Memphis first (it was a fast attack sub) but it was decommissioned and he was assigned to the Tennessee. This is his second or third underway on the Tennessee - I would have to look back at my e-mails. You can e-mail him - but it may be several weeks before you get a response and then it will probably only be three or four sentences. I did send him a halfway box to take with him. Normally the FRG (family readiness group) from the sub will send a box for single sailors. If you son is married maybe his wife sent one. I also send a small box with a card for him to open each week with a little something in it - a newspaper article I think he'd like, a candy bar, etc. Once he was gone for Christmas, New years, birthday, valentines, St. Patricks - all on the same underway. I sent him a card for each. I have also sent a dvd (Dollar General/Winn Dixie) have some of the older ones for $2.99 that come in the thin evelope thing with a bag of microwave popcorn and then put that in the small brown envelope and tell him to have a movie night. We actually got to go on the sub back in March - very small,compact personal space. You can also go to google images and see some pictures of the sub. It took my son about 10 - 11 months to earn his dolphins. Last time he helped with training, but since he is getting out he did not do that this time.

Carri - sent you a friend request. My son is on the Tennessee gold crew. He is a nuke EM - on his last underway. Be glad to try to answer any questions you may have.

Carri, my son is on the blue crew; yours must be on the gold. I hope he knows your e-mail. My son had mine in his phone, but wasn't allowed to take it. He didn't know anyone's, except he'd written one address on a piece of paper. He e-mailed her, and she FB messaged me. :)
