Hello ladies! i thought it would be a good idea to make a group for Submarine girls, just because it takes a special kind of girl to be a Submarine,girlfriend,wife or fiancee :)
it's american schooling but run by the department of defense.
what a crazy night we had went to a Seether concert and came home around 8 pm tried to got o bed figuring my son had school and my nieghbors decided to throw a party so we ended not being able to go to sleep till like 1 am this sucks no school for the boy
yea he was exhausted but he wanted to go to school so he was 3 hours late today but better late than being absent. But he had a blast at the concert last night so glad it didnt goon all night cause it was being held right behind my house.. kind of cool having seether in my backyard haha.
yeah, Justin left for GA. it wasnt as hard, but the days leading up to it seemed to be. it was a little harder on his mom, but she's fine now. Esp since we'll see him in a couple of weeks, i think thats why it wasnt so hard for me this time.. but i know when he goes underway it's gunna be hard. ESP the first time :/
& @ katie- see if he would be able to make it home, and have it there, his parents requested that we wait until we're 21 but that didnt happen haha and i've read that its easier to get married in school because youll be on his orders and they'll move you with him instead of having to do everything yourself!
we are planning on renewing our vows since we didnt have a wedding.. we just did the justice of peace but it went so perfect that renewing our vows isn't really a big priority like it was before we got married.. but my mom wants me to have a "real" wedding :/
Kate -i had a white wedding with 4 months to plan, if you want a white wedding you WILL have one. I know with the navy, and military in general plans can change at any time.. i was scared to death the whole time they werent gunna let him come home, but try to plan it around a time he can take leave. but idk how it works when he gets to his first duty station.
kate- lmao yea we were wanting to wait till our 10 yr anni but its getting closer and closer haha in 3 yrs we will be married for 10 yrs.. we want to travel so we probably wont have a wedding just no time.:/ and like i said it isnt a priority my mom will just have to deal
@ emilylane- i'm sorry things are starting off slow with making friends seems like you just moved there and just met the command wives but just give it time i am sure you will make friends..
@ashley swp- yes much boo to deployments but tis our lives haha
@ Kelsi- there is email access for all sailors they will set it up and he can email you whenerever he can
and homecomings wow in kingsbay ummn we never had a homecoming because of it being a boomer base but there were a couple times that a boat had a homecoming but it is rare.. if they do have 1 your hubs has to put you on the list to get information from the command ombudsman and frg.. you will need a background check after the background check you will be able to get a pass from pass and id..
so far that is all i can remember but i'll ask my hubs more when he gets home..
girlfriends, fiancees, wives, and family can all have access to the FRG and ombudsman the sailor has to send it through the CO first and he will have to put whomever he wants to have info on the frg list and ombudsman roster...
@ emilylane- fraternization is only for the military personnel they are the ones in the military not us wives/husbands we can be friends with anyone now when i was the CO's wife friend in kingsbay we would go out for coffee have lunch but it was just us 2 our husbands (my hubs was an e4 then) never hung out lol. but also fraternization is also more on a surface than sub the sub community seems to be more lenient on the whole subject, my hubs friend who we hung out with was an E6.
I'm sorry but that info is wrong the sailor has to route a special request chit up through his command, there are wives who don't have access to the FRG and Ombudsman the way we get access is the sailor puts us on the roster for us to have access. so the same goes for g/fs, fiances, or any other family.
if the sailor does not put us on the roster we to will be cut out of any information
lol yes i was fixen to add that i had to walk my pups.. it does vary from command to command but it is up to the sailor to put in them chits if they want their spouse, fiance, or g/f to have access to the FRG or ombudsman.. and true it is more likely that a spouse will be added and a g/f or fiance will not that is only cause the command doesnt just want anybody to have info so they might put some restrictions on what they can know or they might just say yea ummn no
what do you mean by taking chance? just curious, cause the last time i checked i was a civilian and if i am not doing anything illegal or being" bad" then i'm kosher.. not saying fraternization isn't in the sub community it is still there but when they are out of uniform rank is usually ignored.. but you can have 1 higher up who will frown on it :/ but he is just a fubby dub lol
@ Kate G- yes he will be asked each deployment to fill out who he wants to have info and to make sure everything is correct.. the main concern is not the FRG cause they are just party planners and for support (great support they are it's just not my thing) but if you want boat info you need to be on the Ombudsman roster.. but if he doesn't get asked he needs to talk to his command about getting you added..
i asked my neighbor who is an MA cause fraternization falls under the Uniform Code of military justice (UCMJ) and she said no spouses are not held under that policy spouses can be friends with anyone no matter the rank.. she looked it up in the OPNAV Instruction and read it off to me..
when i said some commands sometimes ignores when a lower rank is friends with a higher rank i was referring to the military personnel not spouses.. sorry i reread what i wrote and it sounded like i was talking about the spouses and i wasn't..
sorry not trying to start a debate but i just want other wives to know it is okay to befriend anyone no matter the rank of the husband when my hubs was a an e3 i know i did not get along with any of the other wives who's hubs was around the same rank i have always gotten along with older people and the older people happened to be wives of the higher ranked.. so if spouses had fallen under that policy i would have no friends :(
i wore slacks and a dress shirt with heels to my hubs school graduation cause they will be wearing there dress uniform is my memory serves me right then that would be the right attire to wear with the uniform.
i got a semi job lol.. my neighbor who is a ma had a baby a month ago and she asked me if i will be willing to watch the baby while her and her hubs go back to work since they are both in the navy.. yay i am so excited i love babies :D
the boomer pin is worn under the dolphins and it is there to hold little stars, one bronze star for each ‘successful’ patrol after the first or a silver star for five ‘successful’ patrols.
have to share.. not for sure if you ladies know about this on you tube.. this guy who is a nuke and stationed in kingston, wa.. well, he has been making an animated series of life on a submarine and now he is making animated series of life as a recruiter..
Hey to all. My husband just started OCS in RI for NUPOC. Sounds like all of your significant others have are ahead. I figured I could learn some knowledge from you all.
@Krystal- OMG! wth. Justin didn't even get a chit. He just went and told his chief he got married. He told me the chits are more for people in school? idk.
SIDE NOTEEEE- I'll be in Kingsbay in 4 days!! OOWOOWWOWOOWOO
kingsbay doesnt have base housing it is off base so if family comes and visit they dont have to check in with the base you just have to register them with housing. it used to be base housing till Balfour took over.. there really isnt that many rules its pretty much the same as if you had a rent house but the cleaning inspection is crazy.. if you are a clean person and keep up with maintenance then you have nothing to worry about. also, when you move in they give a check list for you to check stuff off that is broken.. be freakin picky to spots on carpet, tile stained, paint on wall yellow or chipped, fridge makes noises things like that cause when they come to do move out inspection they can get you for something that was already there when you moved in..
they call it base housing but it is not.. did you have to show your ID at the gate when driving in? not the 2 big main gates but the gate to housing? there is a guard shack there but that was cause it used to be military only entry now its open to public..
