  • Hi Mitch,
    We asked him in a letter but that was a week ago. His last letter was dated 12/30 so he has not read our question yet. We will be looking for Mathew at PIR.

  • Mitch,
    Great News
    Anitoli sent us a letter today, Ship 13 Div 056 Battle station is Sunday night the 10th through 11th AM. Should get the call Monday that he is a real Sailor!!!!
    Also he got promoted to E-2 and earned a Sharp Shooter Ribbon. Everything is easy and he is having a great time. Gas chamber training was a great adventure for all but they made it through with less in there gut than they went in with. Final Personel inspection was going to be today and he was really ready for it.
    See you all in GL

    Ask Mathew if he knows my son Anitoli HM from AZ? They are on the same ship. I will ask my son if he knows of a Mathew AE/FS from CA. We get regular letters because they are forced to write letters on Tuesday's, Thursday and Sunday. You'll hear me at Graduation cheering our SHIP 13. DIV 056

  • Mitch, 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'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 Matthew for his service for me and for yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.

    Sincerely, EG
  • Welcome to NavyDads Mitch! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun, useful, and educational as I have. Explore the site 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 certainly 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 in the family - my son Eric (AM3) recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) returned last fall from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Mitch this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Matthew is doing! We do ask that you remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors in mind at all times. 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 and the NavyDads Guidelines link.

    As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called "A MUST READ for All New Navy Parents". Take a few minutes to 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 as they address many of your questions and concerns.

    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. And stop by the NavyDads official store- Navyoutfitters.com to show your support for NavyDads.

    And Mitch- thank you for your service to our great country. Best Regards- Paul
