What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:
I am glad he has a desire to serve our great country through this avenue. He is the first of our sons to do so, so I am a little nervous. He is a great kid, but the Navy will be a rude awakening to how most people operate their lives. I am hoping he will rise above the norm.

    Welcome aboard to NavyDads.com Melvin! When my son first enlisted, I was a very scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. I had soon discovered that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I had lots of questions like I'm sure you do. We will be able to answer most, if not all, of you're questions. Please feel free to ask us anything.

    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 will feel that same pride for you're son or daughter! This is the place to brag!
