  Sailor, " Welcome Aboard " 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 want to thank you for your commitment to serve our country and to protect its freedom. We dads and moms on here are very proud of all the Sailors seriving in the Navy. Please jump right in and make this site your own. We love our Sailors on here. They have been a big help to us parents and we hope to them as well. Also we will support you
  
  throughout your journey in the Navy. We parents on this site are here for anything you need. God bless you in your travels and thanks again for joining us.
  Sincerely, EG

  Welcome to NavyDads KristianKandria ! 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 what you are going to go 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 just returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat returned last fall from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And KristianKandria this is a great place to brag so join in and let us know how you are doing!
  
  As a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what you are going through. Thanks to one of our members we have two excellent videos that you can access from the Video area on the NavyDads.com main page: New Bootcamp 1 of 2 and New Bootcamp 2 of 2. These videos will answer many of your questions and concerns and will give you a better understanding of how the United States Navy makes sailors!
  
  Be sure to spend some time in the Bootcamp group- there are many questions and answers available to help you understand what you are going to go 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 PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul
