Drew's Dad commented on Leonard's group Submariners"Congratulations to my son Drew and the rest of the sailors on the USS Providence in Groton on earning the Battle "E" Award!

Drew's Dad commented on Leonard's group Submariners"Dana. My son is on a fast attack sub out of Groton. He has only been there since June. His longest cruise so far has been about a month. Most have been 7-10 days. They will be going out for a 6 month deployment next year."

Thomas Mackie replied to Drew's Dad's discussion Communications from Subs in the group Submariners"I recieved an e mail today Drews dad! Funny..trying to get hold of him and he sends one the next day! I left off the crew color is why my e mail didnt go through. It's @kentucky-blue.navy.mil"
Thomas Mackie replied to Drew's Dad's discussion Communications from Subs in the group Submariners"It didn't work Drews Dad. Just came back as undeliverable. Is there any directory for it or somewhere I can call and get it? Thanks"
Thomas Mackie replied to Drew's Dad's discussion Communications from Subs in the group Submariners"Thanks so much Drew's Dad. I really appreciate it. I will try that for sure but maybe need some clarification.Would that be last name, first initial, middle initial@kentucky.navy.mil correct? Congratulations on your sons return! Are you going…"
Drew's Dad replied to Drew's Dad's discussion Communications from Subs in the group Submariners"Tom. I would assume they all have an email address. My son does and he is just an E-3. Try this, your son's last name first and middle initial@Kentucky.navy.mil. BTW, my son's boat came in yesterday. All is good!"
Thomas Mackie replied to Drew's Dad's discussion Communications from Subs in the group Submariners"My son is on the USS Kentucky a missile boat. Can he recieve e mails? I didnt get an e mail address from him before he left. I just assumed he couldn't be reached."

Mike K replied to Drew's Dad's discussion Communications from Subs in the group Navy Nukes"Sailors do get incoming emails and can send outgoing emails. This is limited and all incoming and outgoing emails are screened. If you send something that should not be going they will bump your email back and let you know why this was…"

Navydads co-admin (Terry) said… - Drew’s Dad, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. 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 Drew for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young man.
Terry

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads Drew's Dad! 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 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- 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 Drew's Dad this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Drew is doing!
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. Thanks to one of our members we have two excellent videos that you can access from the Video area on the NavyDads.com main page: New Bootcamp 1 of 2 and New Bootcamp 2 of 2. These videos will answer many of your questions and concerns and will give you a better understanding of how the United States Navy transforms our children into sailors!
Be sure to spend some time in the Bootcamp group- there are many questions and answers available to help you understand what your sailor is going through. And 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

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 Drew for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
