Yep, When he was approaching the end of his 7 month deployment and looking forward to two weeks leave, we were teasing him about how nice it would be to have him home knowing he would put his clothes away and make his bed each day. His reply:…

It appears all of them do this! When my son stepped off the plane, he was a true sailor standing tall and proud. He spoke like a grown up. The next day when he was in his regular clothes and with his friends, he was like the kid he was back in…

I've learned from my two sailors that "kids will be kids" though you will start to see a shift away from the boyish behaviors the longer he is in the Navy.

My son also turned from a boy to a man between the time we dropped him off Ft. Detrick for his trip to Lakes and when we saw him a couple of months later at graduation. It is interesting to observe how he is very professional and focused while in…

Manuel after looking around I found this site that did patches.

Manuel I haven't done a logo patch but let me know what you need for a patch and rocker. I think that would be awesome to see. The images I've done for the site you are more than welcome to tweak and use. I can email you what I have if you want to try and get one made yourself. Just let me know and I'll help in anyway I can. Click on the store tab and you'll see the skull image I came up with. Paul the admin has tweaked that into a tattoo so anything can be done.

Manuel, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. We are here to support and encourage each other because we are all going through the same things. We love and support our sailors and we are interested in what they are going through and this is a place we can ask questions and get answers from those that have gone through it already. I have two sons and they are both in the military. My youngest joined the Air Force. My oldest joined the Navy and is stationed on the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN 72. Please thank Manny for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young man.
Terry

Welcome to NavyDads Manuel! 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 is almost two months into a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat just returned from her seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Manuel this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Manny 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 or daughter is going through. Thanks to one of our members we have two excellent videos that you access can from 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 sailors PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul

Manuel, Welcome Aboard! 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 your son for his service for me and yours as well. Thanks again for joining. Sincerely, EG

My son is 19 years old and joining the Navy. He has training for this opprotunity with his soon to be ship mates. I am a lil apprehensive and scared that my oldest son is leaving the nest for the first time, but it almost brings tears to my eyes to think of him leaving and becoing his own man. I know that this is what has to happen. This one of the reasons I joined Navy Dads to find support from those who have gone thro this. Thank you all.
