Re: Question about Tours/Deployment/Missions/whatever name i
All this conjecture ain't good for your health love. If, and when, your old man gets to sea, take it from after his first trip.
I was not guessing or speculating, simply saying what I had been told by people who had served on boats and what my OH had been told.
I also pointed out that this expression of an opinion was from what I had been told and not what we had experienced, so not trying to say this is true etc.
My OH has been told he can not contact me - is this not true on V class?
He was told I can send upto 2X40 words a week - is this not true on V class?
He was told the depolyments where 12 weeks normally- is this not true on the V class?
He was also warned he cant get off even if something truely awful happned at home - is this not true on the V class?
They said he could possibly get off on the other boats - again is this not true?
He was told this at a talk when they where deciding what type of boat and where port they wanted to put first.
And I know 2 wifes/girlfriend with OHs on the V class who say this is correct.
I knew someone who was a CPO on the swiftsures (now recently retired) and he was out for 6 months went to port stocked up and then went out again for a few more months, he said this was quite common on the S classes. - is this not true?
I was just seeing if this would help this young man decide, as this is what my OH had been told at HMS Raleigh in the submarine service talks.
Just trying to be helpful and not at anypoint did I say my information was from 1st hand experience of service and deployments and I was not specualting from hear say, the information about the V classes was the information from the Navy itself.
Lets be fair there isnt much information around really.
