"I find that the nukeworkers forum can be a great source of information.
Sometimes the posters can be a bit "crusty" but they have a good grasp of life in the real world.

I think that the fact that your son qualified for nuke school and was willing to give it a try says a lot about him.
Be proud!"
Zazzws commented on John Augustine's group Navy Nukes"My sailor graduates prototype today. They picked him up to be staff for the next two years. He reports for duty in four weeks.

Zazzws replied to mark hartman's discussion Sub vs Carrier in the group Navy Nukes"Hey Ward. Try to make it to your son's power school graduation. It is a milestone in his career and Charleston is a great city to visit.

Congratulations…"

- Welcome to NavyDads Zazzws! 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 Zazzws this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Will 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

E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin said… - Zazzws, 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 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 Will for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.
