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 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. I'm blessed to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) was on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and is on his way to HSL-37 in Hawaii. My daughter Kat is a Navy vet and was stationed on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Les this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how you are 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.

Welcome to NavyDads !

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.

Les, Welcome Aboard!

Let me start by saying I'm so glad you've found us. When my son first enlisted in the Navy I began to research what would be in his future. After countless hours searching the Internet and still being left with so many unanswered questions, I was inspired to create this site to ease the burden on Navy families that followed behind me. Our community consists of Navy Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Spouses, Siblings, etc. which are a valuble resource for knowledge.

Navy Families involvement is "key" to learning about what their Sailor will be doing and more importantly, them teaching Navy life to others that follow in their shoes by documenting what they have learned along the way. Thank you for your service and thanks again for joining us.

Sincerely,
E.G.

Welcome aboard Les! I will agree with Tim and say that it's always so great when we get guys who "Have been there and done that" to join us here. Our mission is to educate and help the dads and mom that have questions about what their sons and daughters are doing with the Navy. Our hope would be that you can play a part in that mission. I have no doubt that your knowledge will prove very valuable to someone.

I have one son in the Navy and is an AWO2 and flies in the P-3 Orion. Currently he is on deployment in the Mediterranean.

Thank you for joining us!

Jim

Les, Welcome to NavyDads. My Grandson Joined the Navy and went to Boot Camp in February, 2008. When I joined I knew nothing about the Military and this site has really helped me understand what to expect and has relieved some of the worries I had. We are a big family here and with your background you will be a real asset when it comes to question or concern we may have regarding what is in store for you recruit. You will find members that are new to the Navy along with those that have Loved Ones that has been in for some time. We are very fortunate to have a retired Navy guy to answer some question. I hope I am not sacring you away.

I would also like to Thank You for your Service.

Again Welcome.

HooYah US Navy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
