Yes. Don't rush to gain the weight, he will get there healthy. See a nutritionist!!!! They can help. My daughter just had cancer surgery and had partial colon removal. She was always very thin and this completely knocked her down. A nutritionist rec…
Hi Lyrae31..Hello Ed..... Lyrae31 i think Ed has asked the right question,how much weight does your son need to gain.
I disagree with trying to lift weights with such a short time till he reweighs as he'll will lose pounds before he starts bulking u…
There is really no "safe " way to put weight on in that short of time.........he has to consume more calories then he would normally, in a day..........Weight gainers are NOT SAFE.......
Clean carb's: Rice,pasta's, baked potatos, and have him lift…
My son was supposed to ship yesterday to Bootcamp but we are now awaiting the magical waiver or wait 16 days to reweigh. Turns out they changed the minimum weight requirements in March but failed to tell the DFW staff. So my son is now the first rec…

- Lyrae31, “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 Jacob for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young man.

- Welcome to NavyDads Lyrae31! 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 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- 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 Lyrae31 this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Jacob is doing!
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!
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. Best Regards- Paul

- Lyrae, Welcome Aboard!
I'm so glad to have the Navy Moms on here to keep us men in line. 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. We have many moms on the site and benefit greatly from their point of views and we are willing to help the moms in any way we can. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your sailor. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your sons journey in the Navy. Thank Jacob for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
