Our sermon last Sunday was about truly giving it up to God. Our priest commented on how when brought to our knees, we from West Texas tend to want to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. We need to let it be God who pulls…"

Hannah Baxter said… Football is what I deal with so I can march in the halftime show. :-) I loved my college football team, mostly because we lost dramatically all the time, but I only sport I watch with enthusiasm is hockey. I LOVE my San Jose Sharks.

It became a "God'll take care of me" moment when I first jumped out. After putting in the faith, I was able to jump out and enjoy it. I was terrified at first, I won't lie. I understand anyone's reluctance to jump out--it's a crazy idea.
This weekend was really relaxing. On Sunday after church, I went to a friend's place, and he and his wife did a pasta feed/movie night. There's something wonderful about a real couch and having affectionate dogs leaping on it for belly scratches. :-) How was your weekend?

There is absolutely nothing interesting going on currently. I need to go skydiving again before I leave Great Lakes, but for some reason most people are reluctant to jump out of perfectly good planes and plummet to the ground at 125+ miles an hour--and I can't go without a lib buddy.

Kerry Tams said… April, Jason is a 3rd Class Petty Officer working in Supply Division S-8. His main area is called "the void" and is pretty easy to find from the hangar bay - it has the only stairs going up out of the hangar bay. I know your sons first days will be very hectic getting acclimated to the ship, but when he gets squared away he should try to look him up. Your son will be assigned a mentor the will introduce him to Enterprise, and that's a very important factor to take advantage of.
Again, welcome aboard. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions - you may want to check out my deployment video from January at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l_1bUFvpH4

NavyDads Co-Admin, Tim said… - Welcome aboard April.
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. There is also a link called Navy Enlisted Ratings, this link will take you to a brief description of the rates (jobs) in the Navy that you can find your sailors rate and find out some information about the rate that they are in.
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 Eric 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.

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 like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. I new at this and hope this site helps Navy families that follow behind me. I hope this site benefits you or may hopefully point you in the right direction. Thank Eric for his service and thanks for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.

- Welcome to NavyDads.com April! 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. 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) was stationed on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and just re-enlisted, and my daughter Kat is a Navy vet and was stationed on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And April this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how Eric 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 not talk about in a public forum like NavyDads.com. And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com! Show your support for NavyDads.com by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire. Best Regards- Paul

NavyDads Co-Admin, Jim said… - Welcome aboard April! When my son first enlisted, I was a little scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. What I found out was that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I found lots of answers to my questions right here on NavyDads.com.
I have one sailor in the family - my son Stephen is an AWO2. (Air warfare systems operator) He is a Petty Officer 2nd Class and flies in the P-3 Orion sub hunter. Currently he is with VP-45 in Jacksonville, FL. This is a great place to brag about Eric as well!
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 starboard side of every Navy Dads page is an area we call “About Us.” Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link and the NavyDads Guidelines link. Also check out the FAQs at the top of the pages, and also on the starboard side. There is lots of information there as well. Also be sure to check out the “Navy Dads Tutorial” in the FAQ section. It’s a short video that will help you to navigate around the site.
Also be sure to stop by the NavyDads official store- Navyoutfitters.com. The Navy Blue tee shirt with the NavyDads.com logo is my favorite! Again, welcome and we’ll see you around the fleet! GO NAVY! HOOYAH!
Best Regards- Jim
