Thanks all for welcome. Surprised didn't learn of this group till now. My son (AW) left RTC thanksgiving weekend for Pensacola and was finally classed up for NACCS and starting next week. He can't wait to find out his final rate. He would like AWF or AWS "Dry". Have a lot of questions so looking forward to hearing the experience of other seasoned Navy Aircrew Dads with Airman in Pensacola. GO NAVY!
Thank you for the warm welcome! I’m very excited and proud that my son joined the Navy. I have no doubt it’s one of the best decisions that he has made and that it will be so good for him and his future. Honestly, I’m a little jealous of him. I’m super excited to go to PIR in December and see my boy after his time in training.
Thanks again for induction into Navydas. Go navy! HOOYA!
Jim, thank you for the information and support. I joined NavyDads yesterday while we were waiting for my son's swearing-in ceremony at HOU MEPS. I look forward to PIR in late DEC or early JAN (TBD).
Yes, he is being sent home soon...possibly before the 31st is what he was told...From what I hear it's going to be a pain to be able to re-enlist...I hear it's going to depend on if the recruiter wants to deal w/ it or not...Any advice is greatly appreciated...what should we do when he gets home? Go straight to doctor? Is it my doctor or a Military doctor? Do we go straight to recruiter?
Thanks Jim. I am very excited for him. I know he has prepared himself for this both physically and mentally. We have many family members that are former military, including myself and both his grandfathers. Although he is the first in the family to join the navy and an officer to boot! We are all so very proud. He started on Sunday 9/23. Is this where I can ask specific questions...such as graduation date?...or is there another forum that would do that? The video was nice lining out the 12 week course...made me feel better having an idea how things would go. thanks
Thank you for the welcome, Jim! I work for Lockheed Martin and we do most of our work for the Navy so I am not a complete fish out of water when it comes to the Navy, but I am sure this site will help me learn many things that I am unaware of. Thanks again for the welcome.
Good Evening/Morning...I have been searching for a link to R.S.V.P. for the Sergeants Dinner...cant find it. Is it too late. My son invited me and one other guest and we'd love to come. Been reading about the past ones and the consensus is that all had a great time.
Thanks for welcome, Jim! I'm glad I finally joined. It's definitely been a tough first week. I agree, though. The more information I see about the process, the more confident I become with his decision to become sailor.

Thank you for accepting me. I’ve very proud of my daughter and not having a military background I hope to better understand her life in the Navy.
