Since Rosie decided to join I have been trying to learn as much as I can about the Navy, including searching the web. I came across this one and liked it. Sites like this one provide lots of good information.

    Hey, your Sailor was in my brother division, and we're going into the same rate--in fact, with luck, she and I might be roomies at ET A school.

    Bob..great pictures of Rosie's "send off" from MEPS. She looks like a fine person and from the pictures, it is evident that you are very proud of your Sailor-to-be. My son started RTC on November 16th and I am so looking forward to seeing him at PIR in January! Congratulations and welcome to the Navy Dads website!

    Thats all we can do! Wait till next year buddy! LOL. Hey I'll settle for just one win over the Sqealers! Hope Brady can show some sign of life against the Ravens. I'm pulling for the kid even though I think I'm in the minority.Your daughter making it up for Thanksgiving? My son got a couple of days. Be good to see him.

    Hey Bob! Congrats on your daughters choice and direction in her life! And I do like that picture of Turkey showing his buddy Terry what a close-up view of football turf looks like! Ah, those were the days! What the hell happened?

    Bob, Welcome Aboard!

    My son is an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca. and my family and I couldn't be prouder of him. When he first enlisted 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 daughters journey in the Navy. Thank Rosie for her service for me and thanks again for joining us.

    Sincerely, EG

    Welcome to NavyDads Bob! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun, useful, and educational as I have. Explore the site 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 certainly have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what she 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 in the family - my son Eric (AM3) recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) returned last fall 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 Rosie is doing! We do ask that you remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors in mind at all times. On the right side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link and the NavyDads Guidelines link.

    As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your daughter 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! In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called "A MUST READ for All New Navy Parents". I would suggest you take a few mintues to read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why.

    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.

    Finally, when you get a chance please be sure to check out the Daughters and Their Dads group. It is a great place for us to brag about our girls. And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com. Show your support for NavyDads by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire. Best Regards- Paul
