    Hi, Mark. Amidst all of the parents I've stumbled across on the several forums I frequent, sub sailor parents are in the minority - 'cause sub sailors are!

    Paul is on the USS Cheyenne (SSN773) homeported out of Pearl Harbor. That's a fast attack boat. Your son is on a boomer, I see.

    I wrote a little ditty about my experience, you can find it here:

    If the picture link doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll send it to you.

    What's your son's rate? How long? Looking forward to talking more!

    Once you are in the group, when you click Join you should get a message bar (green) across the top indicating that you've joined. I just did in the nukes group and joined with no problem.

    I'm guessing you have a comm problem of some sort....try exiting the page, close Explorer or whatever browser. Restart the browser, get back into the site and try again...otherwise you might have to try a re-boot.

    Let me know......

    Thanks for responding back. My hope for Aaron is he gets his wish of fast attack. Funny I tried to steer him to subs but he was insistant on carriers. then he goes to his classification and after hearing the chief he decides that subs sound a whole lot better. So we will see what comes we have a long way until he gets to his first boat
