Hi Philip!! Thanks for your comment about my daughter's video.  She has always been an inspiration in my life and I'm very proud of her.

Philip, Welcome Aboard!

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 Logan for his service for me and yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.

Sincerely, E.G.

Welcome aboard Philip! I'm so glad that you've joined us. I can't add very much to what’s already been said, but wanted to pop in here and say hello. My son Stephen is an AWO and flies with VP-45 on the P-3 Orion Sub Hunter and is stationed in Jacksonville, FL. Be sure to join the groups that will follow what Logan is doing with the Navy. If you have questions, usually you can find what you're looking for here. See you around the fleet!

Welcome aboard Phillip.
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions around the site. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful information for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful. There is also a link called Navy Enlisted Ratings, this link will take you to a brief description of the rates (jobs) in the Navy that you can find your sailors rate and find out some information about the rate that they are in.
First and foremost though we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6 yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 2000 members, Dads, Moms,Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers,girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked . There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you and your son Logan on his enlistment and please thank him for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.

Philip, Welcome to NAVYDADS. My Grandson joined the Navy and went to Boot Camp in February, 2008. When I joined I knew nothing about the Military and this site has really helped me understand what to expect and has relieved some of the worries I had. . Please go to the Groups Page and check out all of the different Group and join in to learn more and meet others who’s guys or gails are in the same Rate as your Loved One. . We like to hear about your Sailors the good times, the concerns and the question. I think you will find that our member are just a great Big Family and everyone wants to help others understand what to expect and hear how your Sailor is doing.

Again Welcome and keep us updated of your Sailor’s progress.

I would also like to Thank You for your Service.

HooYah US Navy!!!!!!!!!!!
