Chris B. replied to Michael Le'au's discussion 'Any advantages or disadvantages to signing the "Submarie Duty Volunteer" form?' in the group Navy Nukes
It depends on the person. Sub and surface are very different. Not sure if I'd buy "he can change later". You can look at www.nukeworker.com Many current and former nukes there to answer all your…

Chris B. replied to Steve Benjamin's discussion 'Process for Becoming a Nuke?' in the group Navy Nukes
Your son will go to Goose Creek if he is a Nuke. Officers go to Power School (@ six months) before going to the fleet vs. @ 22 months for enlisted: A School, Power School, Prototype (SC or NY). He will go to Power School twice if he is…

Well Aaron has 13 days left until graduation at NSI and 12 days until he turns 21 so we will see what happens with that
Paige (Billy's mom) commented on Chris B.'s group 'STA-21'
My son has set his sights on submitting an application for STA-21 and had originally plan to apply this year. However, at the advice of his superiors, he was advised to wait one more year before he tried. My son has set his own…

Chris B. commented on John Augustine's group 'Nukes'
Everyone in the Nuke pipeline has the aptitude, otherwise they would not be in the program. Students who struggle (all of them struggle to some degree) are judged on sincere effort. The program is designed to be highly stressful. …

Yes he is. Right now he is at Ballston Spa waiting to move to newport. I do not know if we will have the chance to get there for the dinner but we will see him afterwards when he comes home before heading to school

Bob, Nukes rule at NSI! LOL. Lee really enjoyed it. Go to the "graduation" dinner if you have the opportunity. Is Aaron going Nuke Officer?
Bob commented on Chris B.'s group 'STA-21'
Thanks Chris for the info. My son heads over to Newport on the 18th of February.

Lee received an allowance for his uniforms. He came out of pocket @ $200 for everything.

Question for STA-21 sailors. Did you have to pay for your uniforms??

My son is an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca. and my family and I couldn't be prouder of him. When he first enlisted 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 Lee for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads Chris! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun, useful, and educational as I have. Explore the site 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 certainly have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what he 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 in the family - my son Eric (AM3) recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) returned last fall from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Chris this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Lee is doing! 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 right 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 and the NavyDads Guidelines link. And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com. Show your support for NavyDads by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire. Best Regards- Paul
