    Bob, I am one of many NAVY DAD'S on this site. I also would like to thank you for joining our group and also wish Rob my very best in his future with the NAVY. Many questions you have and will have can be answered here so let your fingers type away and ask, ask ,ask.

    Welcome to NavyDads Bob! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun and useful as I have. Explore 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 have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what he 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- my son Eric is on the second half of a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Bob this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Rob is doing!

    As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son is going through. Thanks to one of our members we have two excellent videos that you can access from the Video area on the NavyDads.com main page: New Bootcamp 1 of 2 and New Bootcamp 2 of 2. These videos will answer many of your questions and concerns and will give you a better understanding of how the United States Navy transforms our children into sailors!

    Be sure to spend some time in the Bootcamp group- there are many questions and answers available to help you understand what your sailor is going through. And 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.

    And Bob--- Luis's son also left for Great Lakes today....click this link for his profile....it would be good for you two to chat a little about today and the next 8 weeks......Best Regards- Paul

    Bob that is a tough day on us dads. We are going through the same emotions and at the same time trying to keep our wives's from ending up in the funny farm. LOL Or maybe that was just in my case. I wish Rob the best throughout boot camp. Please keep me posted on how he's doing. Look at or even join the boot camp group, it has a wealth of information.

    Bob, Welcome Aboard! I found navyformoms in searching for answers to my son's 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. I'm new at this and I hope this site will benefit fathers that come behind us. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your sailor. I'm so glad to find out their are so many proud Navy dads just like myself. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your sons journey in the Navy. Thank Rob for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
    Sincerely, EG
