- What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:
- My daughter had always set her mind that dhe was going to join the military but was attracted to the Army because of her uncle who was a big influence to her. I told her that I was really against her joining the Army due to the # of soldiers getting killed and/or wounded in the Iraq and Afghanistan. I was so relieved when she opted to join the Navy. While talking to the Navy recruiter, she took her older brother with her and he decided to also join the Navy.

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. There is also a link called Navy Enlisted Ratings, this link will take you to a brief description of the rates (jobs) in the Navy that you can find your sailors rate and find out some information about the rate that they are in.
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 4-6 yrs 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 4000 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 son Marcellin on his enlistment and please thank him for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.

It has almost been a month since I have been lurking around the site and I can finally and proudly inform everyone that my two kids, Marcellin 20yrs and Marie 18yrs have passed their physicals and completed their contracts and have enlisted on Wednesday, Oct 19th. The MEPS personell thought that it was so cute that a brother and sister swore in together.
