Libya
I've been watching the situation in Libya and can't shake the feeling that after the playground psychopath forced us to eat a booger at recess...while he made out with our girlfriend....we turned around and started beating the snot out of the poor blind kid in the wheelchair.... Anyone want to take a crack at defining the national interest in this move that justifies spending ONE dollar or risking ONE U.S. serviceperson's life?See More

Someone has sent him a letter or card everyday since we were able to get his address. I hope everything is going alright with your son. Best wishes and GO-NAVY"
Adam Smith replied to Adam Smith's discussion Ship 02 DIV 921 PIR 08 APR 11 in the group Navy Boot Camp"We've actually gotten 2 letters (they both came the same day) from our son Brad, besides the kid-in-the-box and PIR letter. And the old adage is true Van, no news is good news as far as boot camp...or the Navy in general...goes."
Van Jaggers replied to Adam Smith's discussion Ship 02 DIV 921 PIR 08 APR 11 in the group Navy Boot Camp"My son Brian is also in that division and his pir is scheduled for april 08 as well.

E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin said… - Adam, Welcome Aboard!
When my son first enlisted in the Navy I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to his future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads but found out 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 hope this site will benefit fathers that follow 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 Brad for his service for me and for yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.

NavyDads Co-Admin, Jim said… - Welcome aboard Adam! I'm so glad that you've joined us. I can't add very much to what’s already been said, but wanted to pop in here and say hello. My son Stephen is an AWO and flies with VP-45 on the P-3 Orion Sub Hunter and is stationed in Jacksonville, FL. Be sure to join the groups that will follow what Brad is doing with the Navy. If you have questions, usually you can find what you're looking for here. See you around the fleet!

- Welcome to NavyDads.com Adam! I'm sure you'll find NavyDads as useful, educational and informative as I have. Please explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. I certainly have! If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. I'm blessed to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) is stationed on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) recently completed her enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Adam this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how Brad is doing! 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. On the right or starboard 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 for some guidelines as to what we should and should not talk about in a public forum.
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. 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 available in the Bootcamp Group as well.
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

NavyDads Co-Admin, Calvin said… - Adam, 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. You will find others that are new to the Navy along with those that have Loved Ones that has been in for some time. We like to hear about your recruit the good times, the concerns and the question. I think you will find that our member are just a great big family and everyone wants to help others understand what to expect and hear how your recruit is doing.
Please feel free to ask question.
Again Welcome and keep us updated of your recruit’s progress.
HooYah US Navy!!!!!!!!!!!

NavyDads Co-Admin, Tim said… - Welcome aboard Adam.
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful information for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful.
First and foremost though we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6 yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 2000 members, Dads, Moms,Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers,girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked . There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you and your son Brad on his enlistment and please thank him for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.
