USS Dewey (DDG105) Tiger Cruise

I got back to NY  two weeks ago from my Tiger Cruise aboard the USS Dewey, we were part of the Stennis Carrier Group. For anyone thinking about going on a Tiger Cruise do it! It is a once and a lifetime experience. The seas were a little ruff at times, but I think all of the 69 Tigers on board enjoyed themselves. The ship and crew members were fantastic. The experience gave me a small snapshot of what these brave men and women do on their deployments. As a proud Navy Dad the trip let me see my…See More

John P, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. Check out some of the other 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 Jessica for her service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young woman.

John, when I started in law enforcement in 1973, all I had was a pad and pencil. My progression through retirement in 2004 allowed me to type reports with the aid of a computer and spell check. I thought I died and went to heaven. I am by no means a computer guru, but you are welcome to fumble through it with me. The main thing is you are here and all of your questions will have answers and hopefully all of your anxieties will fade away.

Welcome to NavyDads John! 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 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 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 John this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Jessica is doing! And stop by our Daughters and Their Dads group. Best Regards- Paul

John welcome to NAVY DAD'S. This is a great group of people here. Networking with parents who have young sailors currently serving as well as new recruits only helps all of us understand what our young men and women are going through in the service to this great country of ours. Please wish Jessica my best and thank you for your service to the city of New York. Gary F.

John, 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 daughters journey in the Navy. Thank Jessica for her service for me and yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
