"As far as he knows, it's just a transportation and housing issue. Because so many recruits were placed on "hold" (Delayed Entry Program) while the Navy was sorting out the Covid issue, the recent training groups have been…"
"Hey Peter,does your son have any idea what the hold up is?"
"Thank you, Paul.
My son, Alex, is doing great. (Thanks for asking.)
He graduated 10/8 and now has his orders to A-School, but he is still in THU at RTC (Ship7) waiting for travel.
I do intend to look around the site and I will be sure to check…"

Thanks! My son just graduated on this past Thursday. He is going to Pensacola for A school. How long did it take them to give your son his phone? I was thinking he would’ve been able to call us today. I hate all of this(Covid) for them(sailors) I wish they would give them liberty. Their morale has to be down.

Welcome aboard to NavyDads.com Peter! When my son first enlisted, I was a little scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. What I found, was that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I found lots of answers to my questions right here on NavyDads.com.
My son Stephen was an AWO2 in the P-3 community. However, after 6 years of service, he was medically discharged in July of 2014. We are so proud of our son and his service to our country. I'm sure you feel that same pride for you child. This is the place to brag!

- Welcome to NavyDads Peter! When my daughter enlisted in 2005 and left for RTC, I had virtually no knowledge of Navy life or how the Navy did things. By the time her PIR rolled around, I was starting to get the hang of things and understand some of the language and abbreviations, but still felt like a fish out of water when dealing with most topics concerning the US Navy. When my son enlisted and left for Great Lakes in 2007, I got serious about trying to learn as much as possible about the Navy. Now, several years into my journey, I’m blessed to say I have two sailors in the family - My daughter Kat is now a Veteran and was stationed on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) as a Mass Communications Specialist (MC3). My son Eric (AM1) did two cruises on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), was attached to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 (HSM-37) in Hawaii, was attached to VAW-125 ("The Tigertails") stationed at Iwakuni, Japan, and is currently stationed at NAS Pensacola where he is an instructor in A-School. If NavyDads were around in those early days it would have made my first days as a Navy parent much easier!
I'm sure you'll find NavyDads as useful, educational and informative as I have over the past few years. Click How To Get Started for a guide on getting going in your NavyDads experience! I hope you take the time to explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. And Peter this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how your son Alex is doing! Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link for some guidelines as to what we should not talk about in a public forum like NavyDads.
Best Regards- Paul
