    Justin has re enlisted for 3 years and is doing well at the Navel Hospital at Portsmouth. He is a PT instructor there and he loves his NAVY! Justin also become a Master Mason when he was home on leave back in February. As a proud Navy Dad seeing my son becoming a Mason just was heart warming. This young man has done his family proud.

    Darwyn, thanks for the kind comments and words of encouragement. We received word through my sons' wife that he has arrived at his base in Iraq (will leave out the location as I am just cautious about all the info unintentially given out on this site). He was able to make a call to her shortly after his arrival. So now we start working on some care packages and letters to him. We know he will have great opportunity to learn much and we look forward to the day he can make the return trip home and tell us about some of his 'adventures'. Thanks again, Ron

    Darwyn thanks for the compliment. I'm happy to be the one to have given us dads a home too. My son is currently deployed at sea on the USS Ronald Reagan and will be doing IA next year. This will also put his boots on the ground. This country is what it is because of young men like your son and mine. It is because of brave men like them that have made us the most powerful country in the world. Always remind yourself this. The Marines will never let anything happen to their Devil Docs. Your son is in good hands.

    Darwyn, 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. Thank your son for his service for me. Good luck and thanks again for joining. Sincerely, EG

    Welcome to NavyDads Darwyn! 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 a month into a seven-month deployment on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat just returned from her seven-month deployment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Darwyn this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Justin is doing! Best Regards- Paul
