Faith, I asked my daughter if she would be a good one for you to talk to. She asked if you were interested in being a conventional or a nuke? Conventionals supposedly don't like Nukes! Kristen is conventional and works on just about anything and everything on a ship except anything to do with the nuclear department. At this time she is on the USS Abraham Lincoln out of Everett, WA. She has had to hold her own in a man's world, in many different parts of the world, with this being her second ship. I have to admit, she does have many interesting stories to tell! If you would like her address, just give a message on this site. (I can't remember it now!)

Hello, I was wondering if any of you moms would be willing to let me e-mail with your son/daughter. I'm not sure about being and MM anymore so I wanted to chat with someone who has gone through all the schooling and is in fleet right now doing the MM job. Please let me know I would greatly appreciate it. I still want to do Navy don't get me wrong I'm just not sure about being an MM anymore.

My son is also on the Nimitz, so I follow both groups, and the Iowa group. There is also a Nuke group but most of the people on there are still in A school.

Welcome bee999hive. It's good to have some one new aboard! I get lots of good tips on how to contact the ship in emergencys, how other mom's deal with their kids being gone etc... and its nice to know that some one else knows what it's like to go through this. Dads/husbands just don't get the attachment moms have, at least mine hubby anyway!

My son, John, is an MM3 on the Nimitz. I just joined the USS Nimitz group this morning.

Good Morning bee999hive I have a son who is a machinist mate on the George HW Bush in Norfolk VA. He is ok, doing what he needs to. One thing I can say about this site, you get all kinds of comments, and things come in and out of your head (at least mine) but all in all this is a good site to post your comments and concerns and get good feedback. You just have to weed through it sometimes :)

Hi Ladies, My son just finished school and will be joining the USS Bataan in a few weeks. Anyone have a Machinist Mate on that ship. This is his first deployment so he is a bit excited. The ship left in May so he will catch up with it over seas. I hope he can fit right in. He is a hard worker so I really don't see any problems. Nothing like getting thrown right into things.
