Describe A Little About Yourself (your IP address/location will be checked::
Neither myself, nor anyone in my immediate family have ever served in any branch of service, so this is a totally new experience for me. Not as new for me as it is for our son though.
What Brought You To This Site:
My son is currently serving
What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:
Surprise, bordering on shock. Nervousness and fear. We've always taught Nick to make his own decisions and to live with them, so we didn't try to talk him out of it (actually I think he'd already taken the Oath by the time he told us). After speaking with his recruiter and others in the Navy we've become VERY proud parents of a Sailor.

    Nick, Welcome Aboard! 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 come 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 Nick for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
    Sincerely, EG

    Welcome to NavyDads Nick! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun and useful as I have. Explore 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 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- my son Eric just returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat returned last fall from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Nick this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how your son is doing! Best Regards- Paul
