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. 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 daughter Shannon on her enlistment and please thank her for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.

Thanks for all the welcome messages. I appreciate it. We received "the box" Thursday. We were surprised it came so soon. Now we're waiting on the form letter so we can start sending letters to her. My son has decided that he is going to join the Marine Corps, so we have been busy trying to get all his documents together so he can go take his physical and his ASVAB test.

Anthony,
My daughter grads on 3/9 and we will be staying at the Navy Lodge as well. I don't forsee any problems since I am retired and have access but was wondering if there might be some with a rented vehicle gaining access. I understand about the rental and insurance documentation needed but was wondering if you might be able to shed any additional light on local policies if any. Thanks for any input you may provide Anthony and congrats to your grad as well.
