any deployed submarine SO's? i really feel like it's a different world than being on a surface ship, on the ground or in the air...

Just a question. :)

My husband is a submariner. He's not deployed right now, but I've been through deployments.

exDB is a submariner.... I waited through two patrols. It is a CRAZY lifestyle :giggle

:hugs hope things are going well for you.

I remember how hard it was last year. He missed Christmas, his 21st birthday, and New Year's.

Just surround yourself with family and friends if you can... and find ways to keep yourself busy. I remember I got sick of people telling me that.... but it worked. :)

I agree. Thanks for the reenforcement that I should be around a lot of people. It's actually better today. I think it was just yesterday.

Thanks again :)

I also wrote him TONS of emails... at least one per day. He said the radioman guy (or whatever it's called.. the guy who filters incoming emails) gave him crap for getting so many :giggle

It cleared my head and helped me feel closer to him. It was a hard habit to break when he got home though :rofl

Hey bubbleheadwife, you can ALWAYS come visit. My door's open, my cats are cuddly, and I'm always up for a cheesy movie-night. :D

Hope you're Turkey day was good, hon. Call if EVER you need!!

my hubby is on a sub, have been through an actual patrol yet but we will be soon

:hugs

Yeah same here! I got that a lot when I was working at a desk and could email whenever i wanted. Now It's a little more difficult. But I really want to get back in that habit.

There are so few of us! Deployments are so weird. And it seems just so much different from others....

not me, but my best friend is. her hubby's out to sea for the first time right now, so she moved back in with her parents for awhile.
we never understand each other because army's different from navy to begin with.. but army is way different from subs.

:grouphug to having a weird deployment!

Yep, me too! My hubby's gone now...I agree the holidays suck when they are away. And he missed mine and he'll miss his bday too. I wish it was over.

My hubby is on a sub they are out right now. Pm me if you want to talk

My hubbys on a sub as well, going through my first deployment now. Im sure he will get crap for as many emails as i send him but its helping me get through it so far. I just want him to come home!

I am a newcomer to the who SS world. We are undergoing his 2nd deployment and my 1st he has only been gone 10DAYS!!! i feel like i am going crazy. My ex was surface so i had no idea how different this really was.

My dh was on a sub for about 5 years... the sub life sucks, especially underways and deployments!!
