Scott A Pope commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Carrier Families"I agree as well, this is far from over. The door is now kicked wide open. What a shame, media sensationalism at it's best. Are there not hundreds of more important stories to cover...? Iran... North Korea... our…"
Scott A Pope commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Carrier Families"The videos may not have been a great idea but by no means should something this trivial cause harm to this Officer's career. No one was forced to watch the transmission. People are too sensitive and more importantly, people are hypocrites. What…"
Scott A Pope commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Carrier Families"On the surface I believe this is another example of the media making a big deal out of something that just isn't very important. When stories like this are "breaking news" then there must not be much going on in the world. I am…"

- Hey Scott! Great pictures of the Tiger Cruise. Looks like you had a great time.

- Hey Scott, have you ever thought about submitting some information on Ryan for Sailor of the Week? You probably got my e-mail about it a while ago. Maybe after you go on the Tiger Cruise, you might have some good pictures on him working. All we would need then would be some bio information. PIR date, "A" school where and when, rate, rank, hobbies etc...We feature a new one each week. I would love to put Ryan in line. Let me know and I will send you a private message with my personal e-mail.

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads Scott! 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 Scott this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Ryan 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
Both my folks retired from the USPS..

- Thank you for the welcome and kind words. I am certainly glad to be here. Ryan actually leaves this evening for basic. This is our first experience with the Navy and I am eager to learn as Ryan begins his journey.
I look forward to browsing the site.

E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin said… - Scott, 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 Ryan for his service for me and for your son and daughters service in the Army as well. Thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
