Well I have a Cpl of the Marines and now almost have a Sailor. Only about 20 more days till it happens.

Both of mine are in the Navy...Kat (MC3) stationed on the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and Eric (AM3) on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71)

Well Russell will most likely be with one of yours in a year and a half, when he has finished his A school. Unless he decides to go subs. He is going to glow in the dark. (hehehe) He is going the Nuke track.

I currently have 1 son active duty Marine infantry, my other son is in week 4 at Great lakes boot camp.

Mary welcome to the family of Marine/Navy parents.

Well I am just joining this group I have 2 sons in the navy my oldest son is stationed on the USS gettysburg as an CS3 and my youngest sond is on board the USS ashland as a BMSN he is planning on changing rates to GM very soon.

Welcome! At with yours you can root for the same Service!

Hi. My son is a student aviator currently flying a Turbomentor, and his brother is an Army combat medic who recently returned from a tour in Afghanistan (with a Purple Heart).

Hello, my son is an AW/Rescue Swimmer with HS-14 stationed at Atsugi Naval Airbase in Japan. He rotates serving on the CVN73 George Washington carrier, as well as now with Det A waiting for the USS Cowpens or the USS Shiloh to come out of repair to go on summer tour. My daughter is currently at the Marines officer candidate school (OCS) in Quantico to join here new husband that just got commissioned 2nd LT. in the Marines. So I guess through marriage I have three!

Jim, congrats to your sons and tell your Army son how thankful we all are that he is ok and we are proud for his Purple Heart. You should be a proud papa, I know we are for you!

Well I am almost in the same boat as you Ladies and Gentlemen so I am going to go ahead and join this group. I have a son that is an ET3 Satellite Coms. with the FFG-46. My other son as I write is up at the hotel awaiting his chance to take his physical and some tests then he will find out his ship date. His recruiter says that it looks kind of like he might get a ship date sometime in July 2011 after graduation.

Welcome everybody I have been away looking for Dorthy and Toto for the last few weeks. I now have a Sgt of the Marines and a MM3 in the Navy. The Marine has asked me not to talk about what he does any more in open forums, said if I was a grunt it would be OK but I am not.

Spoke with Val this Sunday, she just came back from Bethesma hospital as they are trying to find out about why she has intense pains in stomac area. They thought they would need to operate on a possible hernia but determined it wasn't that. She had a concussion earlier when carried in firemans carry and knocked heads with another girl being carried. Also, almost broke her arm breaking a fall during night ops, turned out as only sever bruise. All that and she was still ranked 3rd overall in her platoon before going to the hospital. She is worried that the Lt. duty required by the doctors will have her miss too much to stay in, and she would be sent home again for the second time. I hope not since she got the favorable rating during the XO for platoon earlier and she has tried so hard over the past two years to be a Marine officer. Please pray for her body to be healed and that God Allow her to serve if it is in His will.

Some of you might know that on July 16th, I lost my sailor. He was found dead at his Command. The only thing that the Navy is telling us is that the matter is under investigation. And on Friday the 30th of July we are going to be laying him to rest.

Congrats on having both sons in at the same time

I really do not know if I should stay in this group anymore! I know that I started it!
Most may know that I lost my Navy son while in Goose Creek.
Does that still qualify me as having two sons in the Services?

As far as I am concern your still in. Once Military always Military. And we still care for our own which you are still part off. Your son is now standing watch over the eternal seas.

David, thanks for starting the group and yes, please stay. All three of my sons are in the Navy.

My sons PIR is December 17th and will immediately be stationed in Pensacola for his A School as an Aircraft Mechanic.
My daughter has enlisted in the Army and leaves for basic on January 26th. Proud to be a proud father of two soldiers!

I just thoulght I would drop a note here and wish all of you and your sailors a safe and happy new year.

I have 1 son that grad. dec 17th and now is in Pensacola for A school he will be IT. My 2nd son grads date is Jan 28th he will stay in GL for A school he will be ET he is in Div 55 Ship 7.

Bravo Zulu JJ, My oldest son is an ET that has been out in the fleet for a year now. My youngest son will be leaving in July for basic he is going to be a SWCC.

It is wonderful to have a support group for Dads with two or more sons or daughters in the Navy.  I have one son in Japan on the Mustin and another one in SC going through Nuclear Power School.  I am very proud of both of them.

 

I decided to join this group, because my next Sailor heads off to Boot Camp on June 20th, to Join his Sister.  She'll be in about 2 1/2 years by the time he actually is in training.  It's great for him to have all of the sisterly advice on what to do, and especially what not to do.

I have acquired another Sailor in my Family.  My youngest son Will has married a Sailor he met in Boot Camp.  She is in the Nuclear Program also.  I am very Blessed to have Two Sons and a Daughter in Law in the Navy.

well congrat to you michael I know where you are coming from both my sons are ingaged to two female sailors too one is a gm and the other is os
