Our son is getting to come home next week for the first time in 3 years! He is so excited and we are looking forward to his family and our granchildren again!
Todd Gaudin replied to NavyDads Admin (Paul)'s discussion 'Great Lakes Lodging Guide' in the group PIR - Tips, Hints, and Helps
It's been several years since my son's PIR, but we stayed at the Candlewood Suites on S. Waukegan Rd. Real close to the base and easy to get to. Was very clean and convenient to lots of stuff. We were able to get a suite with kitchen and…

If you are going to spend anytime on deck then take sunscreen. Both times I did the TC on the Nassau they had several demonstrations on the flight deck, fly bys, cargo transfers etc. I forgot it on my first Tiger cruise and had a good case of sun…

Thanks Kyle. I thought they might be sent to Haiti as well but they are relieving in the 6th fleet so I see the USS CarlVinson and the USS Bataan were sent for relief duty. Good luck to your son and hope you hear from him soon. I know I was anxious…

- Todd, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. Check out some of the 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 Matthew for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young man.

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 Matthew for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG

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