" I brought 2 extra to my Son's PIR and they had to wait until all others were seated but there was no problem getting them in. Those not on the list will have to wait in MCPON hall until being escorted in, no big deal."

Rick Heaton replied to Kevin's discussion Have you been to Pcola yet? in the group Pensacola A School"Did anyone stop by the Florabama bar? Used to be a building but it got blew away a few years back so now it looks like a bunch of pole barns put together"
Rick Heaton commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Pensacola A School"Kenny your son is probably one of the few who class up that quick. My son was there almost a month before classing up but he is AME"
Rick Heaton commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Pensacola A School"Yes the school is only 22 days but that's from class up time. He could wait for a month or more (or less) to class up"
Rick Heaton replied to RAY ALVAREZ's discussion PIR 10/29/2010, DIV 823, best hotel to stay at?"Fly into Milwaukee, stay at Residence Inn waukegan. At most 10 minutes from Great Lakes. They have kitchens and wally world (wal mart) is about half mile away"
Rick Heaton commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Pensacola A School"As far as inspections go, tell your sailors to have their ties rolled at the NEX, costs roughly a buck, and have them rolled with dimes, not quarters. They'll know what you mean"
Rick Heaton commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Pensacola A School"A visit to Pcola is a must if only for the museum. Weekend visits are fine as there's usually no class work going on, same with holiday weekends. I would hold off on the cell phones until they hit phase 2, just to let them get acclimated with…"

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 Dale for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.

- Welcome to NavyDads Rick! 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) returned spring '09 from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) is about to complete her five-year enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Rick this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Dale 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.
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. Take a few minutes to 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 as they address many of your questions and concerns.
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
