Hi Scott. Give Dan an attaboy from me -- though neither of you know me. Lived through this with my daughter. The thing to keep in mind is -- none of these fine young people would be where they are if the Navy didn't think they could do it. And…

July 4th thoughts

Rejoice in America's Birthday, and consider the thoughts below, so very appropriate to this day.Bud Link"Happy, thrice happy shall they be pronounced hereafter, who have contributed any thing, who have performed the meanest office in erecting this stupendous fabrick of Freedom and Empire on the broad basis of Independency; who have assisted in protecting the rights of humane nature and establishing an Asylum for the poor and oppressed of all nations and religions."~~ George Washington, General…See More

Bud Link commented on John Augustine's group 'Nukes'
There are a lot of very, very serious assertions being posted. Please, friends, think first. And think about whether there are other ways to raise these concerns. I have 2 nucs in the family, and I'm no Pollyanna -- I've been around. But…

Wendy et. al. -- they'll figure out how to get their checkoffs. It doesn't hurt to use the resources around them, either, like LPOs. Ask for tips, help, advice, whatever to get those checkoffs. They didn't some this far, and…

Bud, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. I see that you have been busy, jumping in and getting involved, I like that. 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 5 years ago. My oldest joined the Navy and is stationed on the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN 72. Please thank Cassie for her service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young woman.

Bud, 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 daughters journey in the Navy. Thank Cassie for her service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG

Welcome to NavyDads Bud! 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 she 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 just returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat returned last fall from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Bud this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Cassie is doing! And Bud- stop by the Daughters and Their Dads group....it's a great place to brag about our girls. Best Regards- Paul
