I was lead to this site by the USNA parents list-serve. There, I was directed to a site for Navy moms, so I checked to see if there was a similar site for Navy dads.

I live about 9-10 miles from the academy, your son must be telling you about the grest weather we have been having the last week or so.
Congradulations to you and your son, a great school. great football team this year also. It is truly honor to meet the young Mids on a weekend stroll around Main ST and Ego Alley.
This is a great area, hopefully you'll have some spare time when you arrive for Graduation, a lot to see and some excellent restaurants.
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 sons journey in the Navy. Thank Dominic for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
