I'm sure you'll find NavyDads as useful, educational and informative as I have over the past few years. Click How To Get Started for a guide on getting going in your NavyDads experience! I hope you take the time to explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailors and what they are 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. And Maxime this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how Malo and Bertil are 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. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security Link OPSEC for some guidelines as to what we should not talk about in a public forum like NavyDads.
As a parent of sailors currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your sons are 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 and as PIR nears be sure to spend time in the PIR group for hints and helps! To better understand how the Navy creates sailors, watch these videos Navy Boot Camp Videos to see what life is like at Great Lakes RTC.
Best Regards- Paul

Welcome aboard to NavyDads.ning.com Maxime! When my son first enlisted, I was a very scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. I had soon discovered that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I had lots of questions like I'm sure you do. We will be able to answer most, if not all, of you're questions. Please feel free to ask us anything.
My son Stephen was an AWO2 in the P-3 community. However, after 6 years of service, he was medically discharged in July of 2014. We are so proud of our son and his service to our country. I'm sure you will feel that same pride for you're son or daughter! This is the place to brag!
