Mike commented on Charley's group USS George Washington"You should probably find that out from your sailor. Posting things like dates and times or schedules could put the ship at risk."
Mike commented on Charley's group USS George Washington"Hey David, maybe we could hook up somewere, I see most flights lay over in Chicago or Seattle. I know there will be more people going. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little apprehensive about going to another country. My son told me…"
Mike commented on Charley's group USS George Washington"Is anybody here going to Japan for family day?"
Mike commented on Charley's group USS George Washington"Other things they like are power bars, grain and granola bars. One of my sons favorites is ho-ho's. Jerky is a good thing to send them but I've found it to be expensive and if you can make your own it's a lot more affordable. You can…"
Mike commented on Charley's group USS George Washington"My son plays on the GW rugby team. He said they played a game in Korea and got whipped up on.
This is a big part of why my son joined up, being at sea and sailing into different ports. He's already the most worldly person in my family."
Mike commented on Charley's group USS George Washington"I guess my son and I were lucky. His recruiter was straight up.
Cora, is that an active volcano in your pic? Nice pic."
Mike commented on Charley's group USS George Washington"I had to suspend my sons phone also, Dave. I had my lawyer draw up everything for power of attorney and sent it all to my son's GW mailing address. It took around 4 months but once he signed the papers and sent them back it was all good. They…"
Mike commented on Charley's group USS George Washington"Hello all. Haven't been here for a while, but I'm glad to see a group of people who have sailors on the GW. My son is 19 and a internal commmunications electrician. He says he loves being at sea!
If no one is familiar with Facebook, I…"
Mike commented on MarkM's group Maryland Dads"How long did you stay in Mark? I have the feeling if my son likes it as much as he does now, he might make a career of it. He's started so young that he'd be able to retire before he turns 50. I hear also that they offer some big bonuses…"
Mike commented on MarkM's group Maryland Dads"I found out about n4d on the n4m site. I like this one better, haven't seen a Maryland anything on the n4m's site.
I just heard from my son via email and he's stoked to have just checked onto the GW. He says he has the coolest job…"
Mike commented on MarkM's group Maryland Dads"You should be getting a phone call in a week or so. It was three weeks before I heard from my son."

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

Navydads co-admin (Terry) said… - Mike, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. I see that you have been busy jumping in and getting involved, I like that. Check out some of the other 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 Gene 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… - Mike, 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 Gene for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely,EG
