Thank you all for your comments and thoughts. My son is on the Roosevelt and I had the chance to join the Tiger Cruise. What a kick. I saw a good number of the Navy Dads in their t-shirts and wish I had learned about the group sooner. Let me start by thanking you all for your sons'/daughters' service to our country. Please pass along how proud I am of them and the honor they give this great country. They are all our sons and daughters. I could not help the tears from coming up as I saw the TR on the horizon coming into Mayport. To think of the thousands of dedicated men and women were coming back to US soil after 7+ months was overwhelming. I look forward to our traveling together on this journey.

Michael, Welcome Aboard! 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'm new at this and I hope this site will benefit fathers that come 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 Colin for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
Welcome to NavyDads Michael! 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 your sailor and what he is going 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 Michael this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Colin is doing! Best Regards- Paul
