My daughter has been in for over a year now, and from what I am reading, it sounds very familiar to what we went through when she was heading back home from a 7 month deployment in the Persian Gulf. We were told to send in all the applications…

Should we bring a lock?

After rereading the email that I received, it may have been an email that was forwarded to me from my daughter, that was actually meant for the sailors and how they had to purchase the Tiger tickets. Does anyone know if cash will be ok aboard ship?

In the directives that were emailed to me by my daughter, it says not to bring cash, credit cards, checks, money orders, or chickens. They say to get a Navy cash card.

Andy, I do not believe that there has been confirmation on the Tiger Cruise as of yet, it is still tentative.

I filled it out and mailed to my daughter. The day I mailed it she emailed me and said it would be ok to send a scanned copy via email. I have since reprinted the the form and I will be sending it via email also.

I am planning on going on the Tiger Cruise if it is still going to happen.

Navydads co-admin (Terry) said… - Ken, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. 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 Kenni for her service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young woman.

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads Ken! 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 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 Ken this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Kenni is doing!
As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your daughter 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.
Finally, when you get a chance please be sure to check out the Daughters and Their Dads group. It is a great place for us to brag about our girls. Best Regards- Paul

E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin said… - Ken, 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 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 Kenni for her service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
