NavyPapa_Paul replied to Mr. Sailorette's discussion The Military making the news"It is important to remember that the mammary glands have a function: feeding the young.

Mr. Sailorette posted a blog postThe Boyfriend of a Girlfriend in the Navy: And Our Paths Align?
Boot camp is over. The experience we had in post PIR liberty was priceless and quite comforting. There have been differences during this period even at a far. The muted communication gave a synthetic stress like no other. Differences did occur and have only become partially resolved, mostly by concession. We are in love. Are we in love with the idea of being in love or is it the real deal?I figured I would not end the relationship or permanently engage during this artificially stressful time.…See More

We’ve all read the bumper sticker, “If you can read this thank a teacher. If you can read it in English thank a soldier.” This idea and common belief probably deserves a closer look.
What do soldiers protect? A language? Religion? “Freedom?” Oil? The list goes on and on. This statement speaks to a popular form of “American values.” And, is probably worthy of further thought.
Preserving culture and language is an interesting discussion. Arguments could be made…

Sailorette called Things are going well. The service isnt what she expected and she maintains a couple weeks could be shaved off of boot camp. She says there is ample "study time" I think that means time with nothing to do.
She said getting lots of letters is awesome. Some people get a fistful every day. Some get little to none. One girl has gotten 1 letter from her boyfriend in 5 weeks (I think we know where this is going). Sailorettes grandmother and myself are the only…

I see that her PIR is Nov. 10th. Are you going to make it to her graduation from boot? Have you been on the RTC web site? Just hoping that you are planning on attending.

There is a meet and greet and the Ramada before PIR on Thursday nights. Remember you only have a recruit at RTC for a few weeks...most of us attended our PIRs a number of years ago

Well, Navy for Moms is operated by the Navy through an advertising agency. It just got bigger, faster than we did. We did not have the backing of a large ad agency. This site is built on a Ning Platform and there are some things like the filter you talked about. I just thought the RTC Facebook page might just be another place for you to go as well as here and N4Ms for some support. The thing that always gets me about N4Ms is that they have I think now over 50,000 members. But when you go over there, you may see less than 100 on line.
Lots of moms and dads come here, and there just until the son or daughter, (or girlfriend) gets through boot camp then they're gone. But once in a while, some real friendships develop here and we stick with it.

Hey Joshua. I thought you might this link to the RTC Facebook Page. You can also connect with others who may have sailors in Ashlee's division as well.

NavyDads Co-Admin, Tim said… - Welcome aboard Joshua.
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful information for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful. There is also a link called Navy Enlisted Ratings, this link will take you to a brief description of the rates (jobs) in the Navy that you can find your sailors rate and find out some information about the rate that they are in.
First and foremost though we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6 yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 4000 members, Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers, girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you and your girlfriend Ashlee on her enlistment and please thank her for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.

Greetings Joshua! My son recently joined the Navy and I really had no idea or a clue on what he’s about to partake in besides what I’ve seen on tv and some stories told by friends and relatives. I am honored and very proud of his decision to serve our country.
I’ve perused recruiter literature from DEP and beyond but I felt that I needed more information to keep me from worrying too much. I also wanted to hear from real folks on what their experiences were like and what they've gone through. That's when I found this website while searching for answers.
I hope you too will find NavyDads.Com useful with lots of real shared information. Our family extends our warmest thanks to your girlfriend Ashlee for her service.
Welcome aboard...

- Welcome to NavyDads.com Joshua! When my daughter enlisted in 2005 and left for RTC, I had virtually no knowledge of Navy life or how the Navy did things. By the time her PIR rolled around, I was starting to get the hang of things and understand some of the language and abbreviations, but still felt like a fish out of water when dealing with most topics concerning the US Navy. When my son enlisted and left for Great Lakes in 2007, I got serious about trying to learn as much as possible about the Navy. Now, several years into my journey, I’m blessed to say I have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) was on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and just reported to Helicopter Squadron Light-37 (HSL-37) in Hawaii after re-enlisting earlier this year. My daughter Kat is now a Navy veteran and was stationed on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) as a Mass Communications Specialist. If NavyDads.com were around in those days, it would have made my journey as a Navy parent much easier!
I'm sure you'll find NavyDads.com as useful, educational and informative as I have over the past few years. I hope you take the time to explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what she is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. And Joshua this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how Ashlee is doing! Please remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors and the fleet in mind. On the right or starboard 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 for some guidelines as to what we should not talk about in a public forum like NavyDads.com.
As a boyfriend of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your girlfriend is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well.
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.
Play the following video for a brief introduction to NavyDads.com. We've made some cosmetic changes to the site since this video was made, but navigation remains the same.
Best Regards- Paul
