I didn't realize it's been a year since I've posted here. I will have to schedule time to come and get involved. Happy Thanksgiving!

Profile Information
- Describe a little about yourself:
- Yvonne and I minister to young military men and women in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area through what we call our "home away from home." We love young military men and women!
I'm a retired Navy chaplain and Yvonne is the wife of a retired Navy chaplain. :) We spent ten years doing that. We also spent ten years on the enlisted side of the house (20 years all together).
I joined the Navy right out of high school and went to boot camp in San Diego, CA. I came into the Navy thinking I wanted to be an electronics technician, on a submarine.
In ET "A" School two of my instructors succeeded in talking me out of going submarines. I discovered I really wasn't interested in electronics and my grades showed it. When I got the chance to get out of going to Nuke School I grabbed it!
I thought sure they would send me to the "USS Neverdock," but got sent to a satellite communications "C" school instead (Yea!). From there my first duty station was a shore billet in Hawaii. Six months into that tour Yvonne and I got married and she became a Navy wife.
Anyway, that's a little more of our story. Check out our web site..

Thanksgiving Dinner
Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!
Wow, this was one of the best Thanksgiving Dinners we have had in nine years!. There were 15 of us! David and Aaron (USS Harry S. Truman), Brandon (NAS Oceana) and Savannah, Brandon's mom (Brenda) and dad (Jesse) and brother (Aaron) and friend (Nick), Trever (USS Gunston Hall), Kim (Norfolk NAVSTA), Aubree (Dam Neck), Sarah and Jacob (our grandson), and Yvonne and me. Only one person was missing - Brian our son-in-law. He had to work - in Minnesota. Check out the pictures up above. Hope your Thanksgiving holiday was good too!

E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin said… - John & Yvonne, Welcome Aboard!
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 Sailors. I'm so glad to find out their are so many proud supporters out there. Thank you both for your service and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads John and Yvonne ! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun, useful, and educational as I have. Explore the site 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 certainly have! If you have any questions or concerns ...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 in the family - my son Eric (AM3) recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) returned last fall from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And John and Yvonne this is a great place to brag as well! So join in and let us know how you are doing! We do ask that you remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors in mind at all times. On the right side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link and the NavyDads Guidelines link. And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com. Show your support for NavyDads by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire.
And John- thank you for your service to our great country. Best Regards- Paul
