    Edward, Welcome Aboard!

    My son is an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca. and my family and I couldn't be prouder of him. When he first enlisted 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 Sam for his service for me and yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.

    Sincerely, EG

    yeah...the 2000 character thing has been a pain in the @*$....best thing to do: if you go down the page you can post a discussion...no real limit here on size or content...I've found myself doing that all the time anymore. Also can be done from the upper right part of the page...you'll see a box called QUICK ADD...if you click the check boxyou get a series of choices and you can add a discssion or a multitude of other things easily. If I get a chacne I'll look at the other site, but it isn't organized the best and it's easy to "lost".....

    think somebeat you to the first post...it's somewhere on the site. Everyone is real good on this site about speading info that shouldn't be spread and haven't seen anyone press the issue with deployemnts and the like. Pre-BUDS, SEALs, and crytpo folk are real good about not using last names and the like so the site polices itself. Since we have no ties whatsoever to the Navy or military we've self-policed through common sense what should go on here and not.
