William M. Farmer commented on dyeshome's group USS Carl Vinson"I don't know if your son brought a laptop along, but skype is the best way to communicate in port. Port calls are few and far between but it is a great way to see and talk to your sailor.
I went on the 2011 Tiger cruise from Pearl…"
William M. Farmer commented on dyeshome's group USS Carl Vinson"Byron, I'm not quite sure what you're time line is but I can give you what mine was for the 2011 TC on the Carl Vinson. 12 weeks before getting on the boat, I learned about the TC. Two weeks later I received the forms with a…"
William M. Farmer commented on NavyDads Admin (Paul)'s group Tiger or Family Day Cruise"Excellent FAS, I wish I would have had this earlier this year on the Carl Vinson. Good advice is to never forget your name tag, it has your berthing location. You're never lost on a carrier, you just don't know where you are…"
William M. Farmer commented on NavyDads Admin (Paul)'s group Tiger or Family Day Cruise"When the Carl Vinson was in port, the navy lodge was not an option to the Vinson personnel. The Fort Derussy hotel required reservations 6 months ahead. "
William M. Farmer commented on NavyDads Admin (Paul)'s group Tiger or Family Day Cruise"We recently stayed at the Ramada Waikiki when the Carl Vision was in port in June. It was a nice property (close to restaurants) and the price was reasonable.
I would stay at the Ramada again and would recommend it to visiting tigers."
William M. Farmer commented on NavyDads Admin (Paul)'s group Tiger or Family Day Cruise"Quick question about a tiger cruise. I am wondering about shorts and a short sleeve shirt versus pants and a long sleeve shirt, which gets worn more frequently. This will happen during the summer."

- Perhaps if you started a group that is for example "Sailors based in Afganistan", or Serving in Afganistan..You would probably reach more Parents and Families on here that also have Sons or Daughters serving over there. I have not seen a group yet. Just a thought. I see your son is a pilot. My daughter is an ADAN Aviation Machinist Mate Aircrewman and works on jets and jet engines. She is on the USS GW as of wednsday. She was flown from japan to meet up with her new Squadron. I wish your Son the best!

- no there isn't, but it would good to start one!! You might not get much activity for awhile as that group would be pretty specialized, but as NavyDads grows and the member base expands, I'm sure it would pick up. I know there are several parents that have sons and daughters in the region there and I'm sure all would appreciate the forum as a way to deal with the worry and uncertainty.
At the bottom left of the groups area is a lick to start a group...follow the prompts. Best to have an image or photo to upload as that is a good way to "badge" the group in a unique way.

- William, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. 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 Mike for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young man.
Thank you for your service to this great country as well. “Welcome Home”.

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

- Welcome to NavyDads William! 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 William this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Mike is doing! And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com. Show your support for NavyDads by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire. And William- thank you fort your service to our great country. Best Regards- Paul
