AJM DOR (dropped on request) as a Navy SEAL Candidate around noon today . To his disappointment, the knee which had been operated on back in 2007, could no longer support him under the physical demands of Hell Week.
His inability to personally…

Don't feel guilty sleeping! When you sleep -- try to imagine that your son is somehow benefitting from it. When you're relaxing in your easy chair -- believe that he's getting some rest. When you're taking a hot shower -- pray…

My Grandson was moved to the Smurff Crew (smaller guy) and he loved it. Things seemed to be better for him. He is now about 3 months and a few days from Graduation from SQT and getting his Trident. If you have any questions about the journey he is…

Navydads co-admin (Terry) said… - Marc, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. Check out some of the groups and some of the discussions that are going on. 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 Drew for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young man.

E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin said… - Marc, 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 Drew for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads Marc! 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 Marc this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Drew is doing! Best Regards- Paul Delete Comment
