Welcome Aboard!

My name is E.G. and I have three sons and a beautiful daughter. I also have the most amazing wife, Cindy. Our oldest son "Evan" served as an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca and my family and I couldn't have been prouder.

My Navy Dads journey began when my son enlisted in April, 2008. I started building NavyDads.Com while he was still a recruit at RTC in Great lakes. I designed, built, and launched NavyDads.com June 18, 2008, two days before his Navy graduation.

My hope is that this site will help Navy Families find answers to questions, share concerns, help another along, and lastly, a place to show their pride for their Sailor.

    Dear EG:
    :) Looks great! Your snow ball will start to happen before you know it! Do you mind starting a link of 101 links or even something like other navy communities? So we can link to each other? Sincerely, Catherine

    Navydadsadmin, many thanks for the warm welcome! Your site looks very well put together and I couldn't tell you were a novice :). I wished I knew about the site while my son was still in bootcamp because I have gotten more information from the parents than my son - he worries about doing everything to the T and information in the military is always classified lol. I met your son (I think) on Saturday when we were out somewhere, possibly the Mall, and he told my son about this site so they could all keep in touch once they have been spread around the country for A-School. I sent my son the link so hopefully he will get time to join your son. Thank you for allowing me to join even though I am not a dad :).

    EG - Great to know I am not alone worrying about my sailor being on the flight deck. While up in Chicago I spoke to Wes indepth of how important safety is going to be and at first he seemed to act as though he is invincible but now I know it was a ploy for my benefit. I chatted with him yesterday and he told me how stressful things are already in A-school. All last week he went through processing and yesterday was his first real day of school. I know it is going to be hard for me not to want to talk to him and know everything but I believe it is best so he can focus on his studies, so now I am gonna ask you all those questions lol. What job will Evan have on the flight deck? I am praying for our boys everyday everytime I think of them.

    Has Evan thought about where he would like to be stationed? Wes has talked about Norfolk, VA or Japan. . .because of recent personal news he received he his leaning more for Norfolk.

    EG - Yes I so hope Wes gets with some of his Division buddies so he feels comfortable, well as comfortable as you can be being the new sailor. I didn't know that about the new ship, George Bush, great information. . . thank you. Next time I talk to Wes I will fill him in :).
