What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:
I am quite proud of my son making the decission to join the NAVY. I sort of knew he wanted to do this for Quite some time since he was a young boy seeing the Movie Red October and Also visiting Anapolis on vacation one summer. Actually All three of my boys were quite impressed at that time with Anapolis and I would not be surprised if the others would follow suit.

When my son first enlisted in the Navy I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to his future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads but found out 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 hope this site will benefit fathers that follow 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 Jason for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.
