Hello Jeff! I wanted to introduce myself and say hello! You have been a member of NavyDads for quite some time and I may not have had to opportunity to touch base with you. As NavyDads Admin I hope you've found the site as fun and useful as I have. Continue to 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 is almost half-way through a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Jeff this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Justin is doing! Best Regards- Paul

Hey Jeff, Tell Justin we are proud of him and his service. The Nassau is an amphib, right? Andy is going to be underway on the Bainbridge in the next while. He's excited. He has only been onboard for a short time, but he loves it. He knows that at times it's pure monotony, but it has it's benefits, too. Best wishes to Justin and our prayers are with him.
