Hi Cathy K.
My son is at Pt. Loma also but on the Albuquerque.
I can't find aany group for his boat so I started one myself.
Hoping to find someone too!
My son is from MI and this is his first station. He flew out to meet his deployed boat a month ago.
Only one short email :( so far....
How about you? Is the Topeka deployed also?
I wish I knew more! I hear that San Diego is nice. Hope to visit some time :)

Does anyone currently have a sailor on the USS Nevada Gold out of Bangor, Washington, and is anxiously awaiting their return to port. My son has been gone since the first week of August, and u don't have to ask if I am a nervous wreck.
Hopefully they should surface sometime soon, I hope. Do I have company out there.

Hi, My son is on the USS Nebraska, in Bangor, WA. He is a MM3. He has been there since July 2011. He is on the Blue Crew for now. Suppose to be on Gold but the timing was off.. Seems to be doing good. Anyone out there with a son on this sub?

Jody - my son is on the Nebraska (out of Bangor), but he's on the Gold crew. Do the 2 crews ever get together? I guess one crew checks out to the other when they turn the sub over; I don't know how much interaction that really is. I don't know my son's job (LOL); he's a Lt. JG (nuke) and has been doing electrical engineering stuff with the reactor, I think. Next spring will be his 4th patrol, I think.

Hi...I am new to this group, as I took a break after he graduated OCS. Thank you for being here! My first question is that my LO will be going to a sub that is still under construction. It will be commissioned next May or June. I mentioned to him I would like to go to the commissioning. He downplayed, as usual that I wouldn't need to go.....so my dear N4M's, this is new to me, but shouldn't I plan on traveling across the country for this event?

If you want to take a trip and see your son and take in the commissioning you might want to go, but I wouldn't come all the way across country just for the commissioning. The ones here at Huntington-Ingalls shipbuilding are madhouses. You can't really even get very close...you will see more on TV than you will AT the event. Ugh. The traffic, the security, the traffic...the traffic....of course, we live here, so it's not a novelty. My husband builds subs. Where is the commissioning?
