I'm married to my wonderful husband, Steve, for 21 yrs and we are about to be empty-nesters. Looks like 2011 will be an interesting year, to say the least. Looking forward to meeting more family members. - What Brought You To This Site:

- What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:
- I was very happy for them. I know it is hard out there to find a job and the Navy is investing in them. I'm so thankful. I can't wait to see how the Navy will change them and make them so much better than they ever dreamed.
- What Is Your Relationship With Your Sailor

- Please Share: How Did You Find Us?
- The recruiters told me about Navy4Moms, and then I just looked up the NavyDads site myself. I may have seen it in a post though, I don't remember.
I'm just happy you are here and there is so much info out there. It's very helpful to find out what our kids are going through by the other members. (we are still waiting for her letter...)

As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your sailors are going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well.
As PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your sailor's PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul

NavyDads Admin, Tim
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful information for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful.
First and foremost though, we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 2000 members, Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers, girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you and your daughter Suzi and your son on their enlistment and please thank them for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.

When my son first enlisted in the Navy I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to his future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. We have many moms on the site and benefit greatly from their point of views and we are willing to help the moms in any way we can. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your Sailor's. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your son and daughters journey in the Navy. Thank them for their service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.
