has changed. I need to learn all the rules and regs asap... This is going
to be a challenge.
Jim, I completely understand you. However, I respectfully beg to differ. 2 main reasons :
1st - we have been together for over 4 years. Our wedding was already in the works, when her recruiter stated that we should wait until A-school.
2nd - I would never allow myself to become a distraction, i would only be there to encourage her and support her. Making myself readily available for her at any given moment as she so rightfully deserves.
And then there is the issue that I am having trouble dealing with. As i mentioned her recruiter, stated to wait until A-school because it would cause major problems and it will be so much easier to do while in A-school. Now the E5 she reports to states the exact opposite, he thinks its a bad idea altogether. And also believes that it should have been done prior to joining. Now call me skeptical, or pessimistic, but someone is a liar. Honesty? Integrity? Either the E5 is lying and trying to avoid paperwork, and I have no problem in calling that out. or the recruiter was lying and just trying to fill his number for the month. Again lying to get what he wants. Either way one of these two individuals are tarnishing the good name of the Navy. And to have the audacity to contradict the good name of the Navy and the other services by lying, seems to me to be conduct unbecoming and should not be tolerated.
Thank you all for the reception... I am not a Navy dad though... I am a Navy fiance for another few weeks when I will become a Navy spouse... Rebecca is doing good, though things have derailed as it will take several months up to 7 months to drop into class.. So none the less i am headed out to Pensacola to provide more personal support... I am also going to be joining/volunteering the USO in support of all the troops and military families.
thanks again everyone

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 Navy families that follow behind me. So jump right in, share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your Sailor. I hope this site benefits you both throughout your journey together in the Navy. Thank Rebecca for her service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful information for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful.
First and foremost though, we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 2000 members, Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers, girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you and your daughter Rebecca on her enlistment and please thank her for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.

Play the following video for a brief introduction to NavyDads.com. We've made some cosmetic changes to the site since this video was made, but nagivation remains the same.
As a fiancee of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your fiancee is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well.
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. Best Regards- Paul
Please feel free to ask question.
Again Welcome and keep us updated of your recruit’s progress.
HooYah US Navy!!!!!!!!!!!
