KenH commented on Michele's group NAS Oceana, Virginia & NS Norfolk, Virginia"My Sailor is flying back in tomorrow (Tuesday) night. Hopefully by then he will be able to get to his ship OK. Evey Sailor on their way back to Norfolk will be in my prayers."
KenH replied to NavyDads Admin (Paul)'s discussion Great Lakes Lodging Guide in the group PIR - Tips, Hints, and Helps"We waited too long to make reservations and ended up at the Red Roof Inn. It is old but very clean and well kept. The room was large and comfortable and very reasonably priced (around $60 as I remember). They have a free shuttle and it is a straight…"

KenH commented on Kevin's group Gunners Mates"Gary, Cody says the rumors are still that frocking will be on their next short underway. He said no one really seems to know exactly, but previous frocking ceremonies on the Bush were done at sea."

I pray continuously for the safety of all our Sailors at sea during Hurricane Earl."
KenH commented on Dave J.S.'s group USS George H. W. Bush CVN 77"It was really cool for President Bush 41 and Barbara to visit CVN77 this week and spend the night. Cody saw the re-enlistment ceremony that President Bush presided over. It really fired him up all over again about his Navy career. God bless Bush 41…"

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads Ken! 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 about your sailor and what he 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 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 Ken this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Cody is 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.
As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son 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! In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called "A MUST READ for All New Navy Parents". I would suggest you take a few mintues to read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why.
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. And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com. Show your support for NavyDads by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire. 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 sons journey in the Navy. Thank Cody for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
