Grant arrived in Pensacola 23 March 10 he's waiting to class up, it looks like it will be late April or May for ABH class's to begin. Is there others awaiting ABH school that just arrived?

Hey,
I was there from July 12- September 29, 2008 for AE 'A' school. It was a fun base all in all. The thing that was there that I miss the most is a restaurant called Flounders. I loved that place. Plus the Blue Angels practice over head…

Thank you,
I guess should let him grow up. I'm sure he has an idea on what to look for there, I just want him to be focused on school and to have everything for him. I totally forgot about the NEX on base.
How long has it been since you been…

Hey,
The rooms will are well done there in Pensacola. He will not need any 'room items'. Sometimes the irons are crappy but it would cheaper for him to buy it at the NEX there on base. Other personal items like computer, camera, beach…

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 Grant for his service for me and for yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG

- Welcome to NavyDads Vernon ! 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) returned fall '08 from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Vernon this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Grant 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. And finally Vernon- thank you for your service to our country. Best Regards- Paul
