James,
Looks like we could have several things in common LOL. Did you just join this site? Has Leah commited yet? My daughter went straight out of high school. She just graduated boot camp Oct 5th and now in Pensacola Florida waiting to class up. I not being in the military myself am learning more and more as time goes on. I try to keep talking with those that have previous experience so I can understand how things work a little better. I want to try and stay informed so when Samantha does tell me about whats happening I undertstand some what anyhow. Look for ward to talking in the future.

James, I wanted to take this moment and thank you for your service to this great country. The sacrifices that you made have not gone unnoticed on this upcoming Veterans Day. It is because of you and others like you that we enjoy the freedoms that we have. I salute you!

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 future 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 is a month into a seven-month deployment on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat just returned from her seven-month deployment 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 Leah is doing with her big decision!

Be sure to spend some time in the Bootcamp group- there are many questions and answers available to help you understand what your future sailor is going to experience. 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 sailors PIR more enjoyable.

And when you get a chance, please check out the Daughters and their Dads group- this is a great place to talk about and to brag about our girls!

Best Regards- Paul

James, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad you have joined us. Take some time and look around the site. Get involved with some of the groups and discussions that are going on. Maybe start one of your own. This is your site to use and enjoy. We love to talk about our sailors around here we may even brag on them a bit. We are also here to support and encourage each other. After all we are 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 in Everett, WA. stationed on the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN 72. Please thank Leah for her considering serving this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for your service to this great country as well. Thank you for raising a fine young woman.

By the way, James, I served 4 years (71-75) in the Air Force as a Weapons Mechanic.
