Richard Klein said… Hello Michael
My name is Rich and my son's name is Eric. I have not been a member long on this sight because my son just went over to Japan Dec. 27. I was just going back and reading past posts on here and noticed that you said your son was with hs-14. That's where my son is at now and he is in aviation ordanance. I don't know what he really does because any pics I have seen on here I don't see any ordance loaded on the copters. Any how I was wondering if you might know if his classifcation ever goes out on a carrier? Or does he just stay on base? Any how it's good to see someone on here in the same unit as my son. Go Navy.

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads Michael! 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 michael this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Paul 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. 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… - Michael, 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 Paul for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
