Paul Blazer commented on Mike Scutt's group IT School Pensacola"Mike-Thanks for getting back to me. So was Nicks' holding time after his date he was supposed to report to San Diego? This whole 'hurry up and wait' thing seems to be the norm for the Navy..."
Paul Blazer commented on Mike Scutt's group IT School Pensacola"Mike-are Nicks' two weeks home using his accrued leave, or is the Navy giving him a break before he starts his job? My son says he is supposed to leave for Hawaii on Dec. 6th, but we were sure hoping to have him home for the Holidays. Think…"
Paul Blazer commented on Mike Scutt's group IT School Pensacola"Son Cody received hard orders-it's definitely NIOC, Hawaii. He has about 20 mods to go before Graduating 'A' School, then hopefully home for the holidays before shipping out. Can't wait to see him, I am very proud!"
Paul Blazer commented on Mike Scutt's group IT School Pensacola"Oh, and Mike, I live in Lake Havasu City, AZ, on the Colorado River. I've tried fishing on this lake for years, but i like stream/trout fishing better. Looks like I'm going to be going deep sea fishing in Hawaii !!"
Paul Blazer commented on Mike Scutt's group IT School Pensacola"Well guys, prayers do get answered! I got a call from my sailor today and he just received his orders-he will be on shore duty, no sea duty, for 3 years, in Hawaii. He's super excited, and I an super relieved. Never been to Hawaii...vacations…"
Paul Blazer commented on Mike Scutt's group IT School Pensacola"So where is Pax River? What is it that is different about this location?

Paul Blazer commented on Mike Scutt's group IT School Pensacola"IA is Individual Augmentee.

Paul Blazer commented on Mike Scutt's group IT School Pensacola"Hi Mike-My son is still in A school, and just phased up (phase 2), so he got to leave the base last weekend.

Paul Blazer commented on ProudNavyDAD's group A School for Dads"Dick-My son said at the time he filled out his 'dream sheet' he was told if he went overseas it would be Germany, Italy, or Guam.

Paul Blazer commented on ProudNavyDAD's group A School for Dads"Hey All-
New to this group, but been here awhile. Here's my query-My Son is in A school in Pensacola as an IT. Anybody hear where the Navy is sending the latest IT grads? My son said something about possibly Germany but it's just talk.…"

Paul Blazer replied to Lark C Sanders's discussion San Diego Base in the group Ask A Question"go to www.navy-lodge.com and see if they show "North Island Naval Air Station". It's 190 rooms, looks real nice. Their direct e-mail address is: navylodge-northisland@nexweb.org Or you can always call: 1-800-NAVY-INN. Hope this helps!"

SCOTT MAHON said… - Paul....Congrats on your Sailor making it through boot camp. I will never forget the graduation ceremony and the pride I felt for all. My son David went to A school in Pensacola and is now serviong as an I. T on the USS Harry Truman. Life has been good as an I. T. on the ship. He graduated from boot last October and A school lasted about 3 or 4 months. I spent Thanksgiving with him in Pensacola and stayed on Pensecola beach. If he has any questions about IT school or Pensacola I can try and tie him in to my son's e-mail on the Truman...Take care....Scott Mahon

NavyDads Co-Admin, Jim said… - By the way Paul...Welcome aboard! I almost forgot to do my duty here! LOL! Sometimes I get the feeling the Navy says, "This guy won't work out, there are a half a dozen in line to replace him." Everything also depends on the "Needs of the Navy". If they need a barnacle scraper, that's what you may end up doing.

When my son first enlisted in the Navy I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to his future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads but found out 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 hope this site will benefit fathers that follow 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 Cody for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.

- Welcome to NavyDads.com Paul! I'm sure you'll find NavyDads as useful, educational and informative as I have. Please explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. I certainly have! If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. I'm blessed to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) is stationed on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) just completed her enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Paul this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how Cody is doing! Please remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors and the fleet in mind. On the right or starboard 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 for some guidelines as to what we should and should not talk about in a public forum.
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. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well.
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
