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

I am the proud son of my Dad who served in the Navy between 58' -62'. I am soooo proud of my Dad for the man that the Navy helped mold him into and the patriotic person he is. As mentioned below, because of his military background (although not a career military man) I would like to present him with a drawing I am working on of a S2F Tracker that he flew along with a nice plaque detailing his ranking, time served, Commanding Officers name and whatever else I can find out about during the time he served. I would like to honor him now while he is still around and let him know just how proud I am of my father.

What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:

I am actually the proud son of my Dad who served in the Navy between 1958 - 1962. I am attempting to find out as much info as I can about my Dad so that I can present him with a nice gift on Father's Day. He served in Corpus Christi, TX and flew on the S2F Tracker and was stationed at the base. I would like to find fellow comrads who served with my Dad, the name of his Comanding Officer and anything else that would make for a nice presentation. I do pencil drawings and am in the works of drawing a couple different views of the Tracker along with a plaque that details info of the Tracker, Rankings of my Dad and so-on. I am attempting to do this behind his back for a nice surprise. Any help with info, contacts of fellow guys who served with my Dad to photos would be greatly appreciated. I am also looking for patches that they would have worn during the 58' -62' years. I believe they were the VT-28's? You can e-mail me at youcanfindme@wowway.com. Thanks again!!!!

Doing research on my Dad...the planes he flew on, the ship USS Antietam that I understand he was on for a short period, looking for patches that his squadron wore during that time period and more.

I'm blessed to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) is stationed on the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) recently completed her five-year enlistment on the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And William this is a great place to brag as well!  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 at all times.

    William, Welcome to NAVYDADS. My Grandson joined the Navy and went to Boot Camp in February, 2008. When I joined I knew nothing about the Military and this site has really helped me understand what to expect and has relieved some of the worries I had. Please go to the Groups Page and check out of the different Group and join in to learn more about what your Guy or Girl will be learning and doing. We are a big family here and you can find answers to most any question you may had regarding what is in store for your recruit.
