James Byars's Page

James here are a couple of sites. flagstoreusa.com, navyjack.info, also my store will open by the end of June were I'll offer the Navy flag and maybe the don't tread on me as well. My advice would be to buy the nylon flag, it holds up much better but a little more pricey.

James, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. I see that you have joined a discussion. 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 5 years ago. My oldest joined the Navy and is stationed on the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN 72. Please thank Joshua for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for your service to this great country as well, welcome home.

No problem James. I'll find it and will let you know where it is before tonight.

Welcome to NavyDads James! 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 James this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Joshua is doing!

As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your grandson 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. And James- thank you for your service to our great country. Best Regards- Paul
