Facebook & Navy should recognize Navy Dads
As soon as I got the email re: NavyDads having a group on Facebook I went onto my page there and joined the group - it showed 2 groups there for whatever reason, so I joined both. Simple enough decision.On another issue - I would like to encourage every member here at NavyDads to send their Congressmen and Senators, local VA offices, local recruiting offices and whatever or whoever else you can think of letters, emails, personal visits, whatever, requesting that the Navy acknowledge NavyDads in…See More

"I got all m essed up as to who I sent which message, so please excuse the confusion with the "Comments". I thought when I sent these in an email, I was sending them to you. Just checked mt messages and discovered the boo-boo."
"I, too, am DAMN PROUD of my sailor, Frank. He started enlisted in 1986, went to nuke power school at Ballston Spa, qualified for subs, was on the USS Bremerton as his first assignment '88-'92 I think it was. Went to the Persian Gulf, Back…"
"In the message I sent you a day or so ago, I failed to mention that while my son was on the TR, my son-in-law at the time was a CPO on the USS Montpelier (sub) and was part of the TR's battle group. He retired shortly after his last deployment…"

- Frank
- What is or will be your sailor's rate (job classification) - ex. ABE, AM, GM, etc

- Describe a little about yourself:
- My son started his Navy career in '86 as enlisted and is now a career nuclear Navy officer. He finally accepted a commission in 2000. I am a real estate & mortgage broker in Sarasota, FL. I have always supported our troops. I have learned better about the huge sacrifices our servicepeople make and better understand their committment to their duty now as well. This country will never be able to pay them enough for their service. I guess they must get their satisfaction from knowing they are serving their country.

- Hello Frank, My daughter Kira is currently serving aboard the TR and like your son she is a nuke too. She is set to come home soon and I can not wait to see her. I am so very proud of her and my son-in-law who is a nuke on the sub Scranton that is currently deployed with the Ike.
Is you son still assigned to the TR and if not where is he currently servering?
Please thank your son for his service from me!!

- It really wan't anything too important.... I was registering Eric's Trailblzer SS here in Arizona for him and the gal at DMV was looking over his power of attorney he had prepared on the Roosevelt and she told she lived on Theodore Roosevelt Lane.....it is an amazing world sometimes.
And as far as I know the entire post should show on the thread page....I really never use that page for some reason, but a partial message showing could be a server issue or comm error....we have a ton of those around here for some reason.

- Welcome to NavyDads Frank! 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 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 Frank this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how your sailor is doing! Best Regards- Paul

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

Navydads co-admin (Terry) said… - Frank, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. Check out some of the groups and some of the other 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 Frank for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young man.
Terry
