    Welcome to NavyDads Joe! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun, useful, and educational as I have. Explore the site and make some friends, add your comments to a discussion or two, read the postings in the various groups-- even start one or two. I certainly have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what she is going through...ask! I'm sure someone here will have the answer or can point you in the right direction to find out. I'm lucky enough to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) returned spring '09 from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) returned fall '08 from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Joe this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Maria is doing! We do ask that you remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors in mind at all times. On the right side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link and the NavyDads Guidelines link. And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com. Show your support for NavyDads by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire. Best Regards- Paul

    Hello - appreciate the comments you all have written. My daughter is an OC and just started a few days ago and is in Newport, RI right now. She's been training for over a year for this event so my wife and I are really hoping that she can stick it out and become an officer. While I was not able to be in the service (heart murmor) my father was retired Air Force and served in WWII in the China/Burma/India theatre under General Chenault. He's deceased now, but I sure know that he'd be proud of what our daughter Maria is doing right now with the Navy. My wife has been following Navy for Moms for several weeks now and has really gotten so helpful information. So glad that there's a Navy for Dads site too. Thank you all for any insights you have...take care....
