I've known about Navy Dads since you guys created your group!! My husband used to be on a long time ago but hasn't kept up with it for several years. I've been a member of Navy For Moms since 2009.

Thanks Anna! Our site is set on the same platform as Navy For Moms. We have a different look on our main page with the pictures and videos, but most is the same. We do have a Navy Moms group if you want to check that out as well. Our creator's wife, Cindy started the group.
Welcome to Navy Dads, Anna! That is quite the legacy of service to our Country! I hope that we can be a good resource for you and the other Navy Moms until the site gets back up....hopefully soon! Enjoy the site!
Welcome aboard to NavyDads.com Anna! When my son first enlisted, I was a little scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. What I found out was that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I found lots of answers to my questions right here on NavyDads.com.
My son Stephen was an AWO2 in the P-3 community. However, after 6 years of service, he was medically discharged in July of 2014. We are proud of our son and his service to our country.
Join us on Facebook as well!

Best Regards- Jim
Moms and Dads both need answers and support while our sailors serve. Glad to have you on the site!
Welcome to NavyDads.com Anna ! When my daughter enlisted in 2005 and left for RTC, I had virtually no knowledge of Navy life or how the Navy did things. By the time her PIR rolled around, I was starting to get the hang of things and understand some of the language and abbreviations, but still felt like a fish out of water when dealing with most topics concerning the US Navy. When my son enlisted and left for Great Lakes in 2007, I got serious about trying to learn as much as possible about the Navy. Now, several years into my journey, I’m blessed to say I have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM2) was on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), was attached to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 (HSM-37) in Hawaii, and is now attached to VAW-125 ("The Tigertails"). My daughter Kat is now a Navy veteran and was stationed on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) as a Mass Communications Specialist(MC3). If NavyDads.com were around in those early days, it would have made my first days as a Navy parent much easier!

On the right or starboard side of every NavyDads page is an area we call Key Information. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link for some guidelines as to what we should not talk about in a public forum like NavyDads.com.
