Welcome to NavyDads Rick! 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 Rick this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Brandon is doing! Best Regards- Paul

Rick on the main page under all the groups is a link that says add group. Click on this link and you will need to add a title of your group- Hull Tech, a short description- this group is for parents, family, supporters of Hull Tech's, etc. Find a cool pic that deals with hull tech's and upload it for the groups pic. And that's pretty much it. I know we have a few that have chidren doing the same but no one has started a group yet. If you have any problems getting it up let me know and I'll add the group for you.

Rick I'm glad to see that you have started the hull tech group. I'll try to add info on the group as I find it. Also if you come across great info pass it along so that I can build it into a page for the site and group.

How is Brandon doing?
