Describe A Little About Yourself (your IP address/location will be checked::
I'm 60 years old; 5 kids. Freemason, fly fisherman. Sometimes musician. My son's grand dad, great uncle, cousin and uncle were all Navy. I'm scared and proud. I'm a patriotic liberal. I hate war, and figure the best way to deal with it is a strong military. Our sons and daughters are the best we have to offer.

Thank you for the friend invite. Glad you have an Arizona connection now! Best of luck to your son while in boot. His letters should start arriving to you soon. Sorry he won't be with you for the holidays. I've often wonder what it is like being in bootcamp during Christmas. My sailor will be home on Thurs. to spend a few days before the holiday.
Thanks again for the message and please let me know from time to time how James is doing.
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 James for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
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. 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 transforms our children into sailors! In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called "A MUST READ for All New Navy Parents". I would suggest you take a few mintues to read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why.
Be sure to spend some time in the Bootcamp group- there are many questions and answers available to help you understand what your sailor is going 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 sailor's PIR more enjoyable. And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com. Show your support for NavyDads by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire.
And Steve- we may be of different races or religions, but we're all united in support for our sons and daughters serving. Best Regards- Paul
