    Hi David, I'm going to breathe a little life back into this thread. My son will be signing up soon and wants to go MAA and then law enforcement after the Navy. Any advice on getting through training at Lackland.

    David...after more PT and Medical stuff the MA group will spend the first few weeks with weapon familiarization and then the quals. that will all be much fun for them until the last couple of weeks which will be the testing...VERY IMPORTANT THIS IS...especially since it's all classroom environment and not so much "fun"

    David,

    Thanks

    Ahoy David! Welcome to our MA group. BC will be full of drills, more drills, and then some more drills worked in for good measure. It will go slow for your sailor at first and then BAM..you'll be at the PIR with a sense of overwhelming pride. Son Conner is finishing in San An and confirmed that the hardest part was the "OC day" but it was worth it. He (as all the others) is a different person...sensible mostly, with words of wisdom far beyond his years. You will see dramatic and positive changes in your Andrew. Welcome Aboard!!

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

    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 sailors PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul

    David, 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 and thanks again for joining. Sincerely, EG
