Bob commented on Tony's group 'Cryptology'
The OPM person (Office of Personnel Management) was in our neighborhood about a month ago. They even interviewed my wife and me. That was strange to be answering questions about our son's background, competence and integrity. We have no idea…

Our son has informed us that he was told out in Monterey to not even talk to folks off base about what he is preparing for in his classes on base. We have geared up for conversations over the next several years (once he is assigned…

Tony,
We have been receiving positive words from our son at DLI. He likes the area and is enjoying the challenge of the classes. He has made some good friends who he does things with on the weekends. He even seems to be liking the military drill…

Oh, by the way... our son says the dress whites they are now wearing for special occasions (the "crackerjack" uniform-white version) are a pain to keep clean!

Tony,
Good to hear your daughter has begun the journey. Our son is a couple weeks into classes now and they are really getting into it. 9-10 hours a day, Monday thru Friday, when homework is taken into consideration. Then some homework on the…

Tony,
Our priority posts we sent have both arrived in Monterey, but our son had to go to wherever they get their mail and ask if any packages had arrived for him. They do not get notified by anyone when a package arrives.

Greetings gentlemen,
Just wanted to let you know that our son begins his classes tomorrow. He has appropriately "phased up" and is good to go...to the point that he called this afternoon and asked that we send some civilian clothes. He has…

Greetings Gentlemen,
We have received a couple phone calls from Jim over the last two days. We shipped out his cell phone mid-week and he got it quickly. He loves being able to just call now. He really likes Monterey as well. He "sleeps…

- Bob,
Welcome to the Cryptology group. You will find every person on these boards very helpful. There are some great videos to watch. My daughter will be leaving next week for A school and is slated to be a CTI. Because of the nature of what our children are training to do, we need to be cautious about posting specifics about their training. Specifics can be communicated through more confidential methods such as internal email.
Have a great day,
Tony

Navydads co-admin (Terry) said… - Bob, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. I see that you have joined a group. Check out some of the other groups and some of the discussions that are going on. This site is for you to use and enjoy. We love to talk about our sailors around here and we have been known to brag on them a little. We are also here to support and encourage each other. After all we are all in this together. I have two sons and they are both in the military. My youngest joined the Air Force over 4 years ago. My oldest joined the Navy and is stationed on the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN 72. Please thank Jim for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young man.

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads Bob ! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun and useful as I have. Explore 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 have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what hr 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- my son Eric is on the second half of a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Bob this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Jim is doing! Best Regards- Paul

E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin said… - Bob, Welcome Aboard! 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. I'm new at this and I hope this site will benefit fathers that come 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 Jim for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
