FT and ST have exactly the same length of training - you can expect him to be in Groton for about eleven months, give or take a couple of weeks.
Camera policies vary homeport to homeport - generally they're banned in boomer homeports and OK for fast attacks.
Hi Emily,
There is another group for Bremerton/Bangor/Kitsap Moms that I added a discussion forum that has a lot of info for the area. Here is the link to make it easier for you...

Nice, Bea..sniff... :)
Hi Kaye! yeah, that might have been questionable at a drill briefing... :)
LOL Bea - very nicely done! That's one way to handle it :) Kaye - I had a chance to say hello to Drew yesterday, although we couldn't visit any. We...errr...attempted to run a drill with his boat, that he was assisting with. Hope your recovery is ...
Kris - he will be in the nuke school barracks for Power school, but will move off base for prototype, whether he remains in SC, or goes to NY.
I'm sorry Janice - I didn't read your post correctly the first time, and thought you were talking about Christmas leave. I see now you are talking about a change of station, so he does have orders (duh, sorry...), and sounds like he is good to go....

Janice said… - That's OK Mark, I see you understand now and the last sentence you wrote made me feel really good. It's been a real up and down ride and now I hope he does dominate in sub school. He is going into Fire Control Tech. Thanks!

Debbie said… - Hi,
I'm so happy things worked out for Zach. Last I heard Zach was due to come home in a couple of weeks, have a great time!
I have new pictures up on my page from Christmas, trick or treating, and just us all being together. It was sooo nice having Jim home it didn't matter what we did. He and his wife left for Virginia last week. They are spending time fixing up the new place before he has to report. It went by so fast. Talk to you soon, Debbie

codysmom said… - Hi Mark, Just was wondering if you could give me a little more detail than I am getting from my son. He is in Groton and has finished sub school and bms (I think thats what it was) and now into A-school. Not so sure if you call torpedo man his rank? But that is what he is. He will be graduating Dec 17th., so what happens now? What will he be doing as the tm? Thanks Rhonda

- Hi Mark,
I hope everything works out for Zach. My youngest is Zach, spelled the same way. Keep me posted. I'm surprised an audiology examination wasn't one of the first things done with this being the field he was training in.
Jim will be on his way home soon. They are leaving Virginia tonight. They have found an apartment and have been trying to settle in a bit before coming home. They also needed some well deserved sleep before the long ride home. I'm sorry the other half of THEY is my daughter-in-law. Yes, he will be on the Prise. I believe the expected world tour will not be happening. As far as its last deployment, I'm not sure. However, he will be on her for that last ride.
It's Christmas in October for us this year. My dad and stepmom will be joining us from Tennessee as well, so it will be a house full.
Talk to you soon, Debbie

- Hi,
My son received his orders. He will be on the USS Enterprise, Virginia. He is very excited. He is trying to get his housing taking care of and will then be coming home. We can't wait! Thank you for letting me pick your brain. How's your son? Did you ever find a golf partner?
