My son is going to a Boomer !

[LHR]

My boy Frank just got orders to the USS Maryland SSBN738, Ohio class nuclear sub out of Kings Bay, Georgia
This dad is so proud of how far he has come !

 

[deermanok]

Good for him. God speed.

 

[Wilyote1]

Congratulations to your family. He will be part of the brotherhood of the "phin".

I worked on that sub. The shipyard workers at Electric Boat take a lot of pride in their work. "We built the best to sink the rest"

Congratulations, and best wishes!

Congrats to your son and to you for doing a fine job of bringing him up.

I'll reflect Jim's God's Speed.

Very cool.. That's a badass billion dollar ride right there. I think he wins for the biggest boom stick. Thank him for his service for me. I usually buy their breakfast at the diner so if you could do that for me as well.

Tell him congratulations and welcome to the Fleet. Spent 2 weeks on a sub, takes a special person to do that for months on a time. Airdale here!! Peashooterjoe

Good deal...My job was to inspect and buy parts for nuclear subs. Specs are very strict as far as dimensions and documentation. I never let nothing get out without making sure all the Ts were crosses and the Is dotted. You can trust he'll be safe aboard.
On a side note, my son was an airman aboard a carrier over in the Persian Gulf during Desert Storm.

He will have no problem getting a good job when he gets out. It takes discipline to be on a sub. He will be doing some cool stuff on that boat. Congratulations for you be proud of him.

No. Just paying tribute to my friend (more like an uncle) lost in Vietnam. I know what it did to his family and others. I have reason to believe what I do. Nothing comes close to the selflessness displayed by those willing to go in during global conflicts. A couple prunes and coffee should make everything better for you.

Congratulations on your son Frank's achievement! His assignment to the USS Maryland SSBN738 nuclear submarine is a testament to his dedication and hard work, and I wish him all the best as he begins this new chapter in his military career.
