Describe A Little About Yourself (your IP address/location will be checked::

I am a mother of 3, my daughter is an AO and is at her first Duty Station in VA. Her husband is also in the Navy. So far, they love it and love living near the beach. I have my own business and make ribbons for families to wear to PIR to show support for their sailor. I also make Military Scrapbook embellishments and you can see pics of the items I make on my business facebook page "Unique Memory Makers". You can reach me by sending me an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com I am also a mentor on Navy for Mom's and love helping others "survive" this bootcamp experience. My website is http://www.uniquememorymakers.com/

    I like the ribbons. Those are very nice. Where did you find them?

    LaLa, Welcome Aboard!

    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 like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. We have many moms on the site and benefit greatly from their point of views and we are willing to help the moms in any way we can. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your Sailor. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your daughters journey in the Navy. Thank Loran for her service for me and thanks again for joining us.

    Sincerely, E.G.

    Welcome to NavyDads.com Lala! I'm sure you'll find NavyDads as useful, educational and informative as I have. Please explore the site and make some new friends. Read the disucssions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. I certainly have! If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what she is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. I'm blessed to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) is stationed on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) just completed her enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Lala this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how Loran is doing! Please remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors and the fleet in mind. On the right side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link for some guidelines as to what we should and should not talk about in a public forum.

    As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your daughter 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
