NavyDads Admin, Tim's Comments

Thanks Tim, got a call from my son today which was great but an concerned a little, maybe u or o,e of the others can shed some light. When Ryan went in he had a guaranteed job now they r telling him he is now a PACT Airman, I did some research and seems to me by what i read he is now does not have a specified job .....someone Please explain ....thanks Kevin 

Thank you Tim for the warm welcome, truly appreciate it.  I absolutely am thankful for this site and the information it offers, what a great community.  May you have a great day!

Thank you so much. My daughter waited a long time to part of something that was bigger than her . To serve her country and give back what so many of our family members gave so that she could be free. She has always been a high achiever in sports and academics. So it was this decision while sitting in her college class to give up her 2 year scholarship to be part of the US Navy. She said it was the most certain she had felt on any decision. From start to finish 4 weeks and she was on her way to living out her dream. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the info about this site. My son is following a family tradition, started in the early 1600's. All of the males in my family have served this country. My Great Uncle James Barnum, served aboard an iron clad in the Civil War. That was the beginning of my families service in the Navy. My cousin AJ is still aboard the USS Arizona. My two older brothers and I served in the Navy as well. I was with the Brown Water Navy during Viet Nam. My two older brothers both became officers, after graduating from the academy. I lost my closest brother in 1968. Matt went to SEAL selection in March of 2014. He is currently attending OCS, and will be commissioned upon completion. My other sons chose to serve in the other 3 branches, but I don't hold that against them. ;) Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Thank you Tim for the email. My son is currently deployed and last heard, was somewhere around Bahrain. I received a message from him the other day, asking if I would be interested in doing, what they call, a Tiger cruise. I sent him back a message letting him know it would be an honor. I don't get to talk to him much other than just on facebook once in awhile. My question is, we know he is to return to San Diego sometime around June the 17th of this year. From my understandings, I am to meet up with him in Hawaii a couple of days prior to the 17th. Other then that, I am really ignorant on the situation and what I need to prepare for this. My son Caleb is not one of the best to keep up with times and protocol., so any help would be greatly appreciated..Thank you sir.

Tim, thanks for the information. I am very familiar with the Navy as I spent 20 years in the Navy.  I look forward to using the site.

Thanks Tim,

I appreciate the insight into navigating through the site. I'm glad to be on board with the other family members. What an adventure.  Thank God for Navydads.com to make it easier....John  

Thank you for your words of support and encouragement.  Navydads.com seems an informed support group that extends helping hands to newcomer parents like myself.  I plan to use the resources as I become familiar with.  Matt

Jim, Paul, Elmo and Tim,

     Thank you for the warm welcome!! I really appreciate it and so does my wife. We have picked up a lot from your site. Thank you again! I retired from the Navy over ten years ago so a LOT of things have changed from the time I was in! We received our sons form letter a couple days ago and his graduation is Jan 23 with Division 911. I look forward to spending more time on the site! Thank you guys!! If there is anything I can help with from Washington State let me know!

Robert

Thank you Tim

Thank You!

Thank you for the warm welcome .

Thank you Tim.

Thanks Tim, and thank you for the site. I look forward to the information it will provide, I just wish I had found it sooner. Getting information from a sailor is like finding hens teeth.

My daughter has been in since November, she is about to

up A school and get her first placement. We found out she would be going to the CVN 72 USS Abraham Lincoln. I found this site, while looking for info on the Abraham Lincoln, I look forward to having other dads to share information with. We are happy to have her enough we can visit and are lucky she is in dry dock for an extended period and we will know where she is. We have been spoiled having her nearby, at Great Lakes, for 10 months.

I like to say thanks to all for the warm welcome.  I have already found the web site very informative.
