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

I am a police Officer in Fall River Massachusetts and my 17 year old son Chris has just joined the navy. I have five boys and the daughter of a Air Force Veteran and National Gaurdsman. I have been a police officer for 20 years and cannot tell you this has been the most frightening time of my life.


What Brought You To This Site:

my son is recently enlisted


What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:

I feel mixed emotions. Beeming with pride but the most scarriest time of my life.I always see him as the four year old little boy telling me he wants to be a soldier like his grandpa. I guess it is hard for mothers to see their sons as men.

    Kelly, Welcome Aboard!

    I'm so glad to have the Navy Moms on here to keep us men in line. 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. We have many moms on the site and benefit greatly from their point of views and we are willing to help the moms in any way we can. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your sailor. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your sons journey in the Navy. Thank Christopher for his service for me and for yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.

    Sincerely, E.G.

    Welocome Kelly to both Navy Dads and the Master at Arms groups. My sailor is an MA stationed at the Naval Station in Norfolk VA, He loves the Rate as will your sailor I am sure. Start writings letters so you can mail them as soon as you get his address. he is going to be very busy the next few weeks so if you do not hear from him it is not because he does not LOVE you it is because he will be so darn Busy. You will LOVE the MAN you are going to be when you next see him in person.

    Welcome to NavyDads Kelly! 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) returned spring '09 from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) is about to complete her five-year enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Kelly this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Christopher 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. Best Regards- Paul
