Thanks Paul, looks like a great group!  I may start posting thoughts there.

You've already made it easier with the warm welcome, thank you!  It's such a comfort to have a resourceful and engaging community.  Here's wishing your son a safe journey and may you have a great week!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome, truly appreciate it!  My son left for boot camp yesterday, we received his phone call last night, and we're excited for him as well as so very proud.  Thanks again for having this resource available, it will make it easier for us to be engaged with him, one way or another.

Thanks for the information Paul, my Son is the first to leave the nest but is home for a few days before departing for the Stennis.  Couldn't be prouder!

Paul, Thank you for the nice reception to Navy Dads. I have been looking at this site for some time looking up information. My son went to Great Lakes 2 weeks ago so I figured it was time to be a member. Thanks for all the great information and everything you do.

Hi Paul, sorry I haven't been on lately massive computer problems, then got pneumonia and was in hospital, then Sailor graduated Prototype and I helped move him to Groton, Ct was there less than a week a was then shipped out to the Northern Sea to join his boat....I will try to get on the site 2morrow (1/23/15), but I heard they have had a lot of problems. What do u mean we can't chat anymore on the link? WTHeck

Thanks for the kind words and introductory greeting Paul.  I appreciated your story about your daughter Kat who had joined the Navy in 2005.  I too have a daughter now in the Navy and it was very difficult to see her go. I have invested a great deal into my daughter and I hope her experience in the Navy is as rewarding as your daughter Kat's time.

Thanks for the welcome! The Boy (as we call him! LOL!!) is at Boot Camp now, and while I am a Navy Veteran, the boot camp seems WAAAY different then when I went through! 

I have mailed him a couple of letters and I am anxiously waiting for any kind of response. He comes from a LONG line of military service! His Dad, Grandfathers, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Great-Grandfathers and on and on!

I look forward to gleaning as much info as I can from this place- looks like a great place to do so!

Thanks Paul...I'll do that for the next issue....appreciate the assistance!

Thank you, Paul. I feel welcomed and thank you for doing what you continue to do for this website and Navy Parents. This is my son's first week at A school - NAS Pensacola - and he just got done with indoctrination. Does anyone know how long A school is for ABH? I want to be at his graduation and see him in uniform. Need to know approximate time so that I can make reservations and book leave 30 days in advance.

Thank you Paul. This is a great venue for Parents of Military Personel and I am glad to be a part of it.

Thanks Paul for the Welcomed comments. Don`t get to spend alot of time on the computer,but i will check back as offend as i can. My daughter was a sophmore at Charleston Southern and studying nursing and decided it wasn`t her cup of tea and came and talked to me about joining the Service i i held back nothing and told her like it was .....and the rest is history!!! :)....Mark
