    Michael, 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 your son for his service for me and yours as well. Thanks again for joining. Sincerely, EG

    Your son's recruiter should be able to give you his ship number and division number...under helpful links on all the pages is a link for Contact Your Sailor that will give RTC addresses for each ship and division...mind you that mail takes awhile to get through to them...but write often anyway. You'll get the call...then the "box" will arrive (that'll be a tough one for Mom)...soon after the form letter...there might only be one or two lines he'll write. Aftet that you'll wait for awhile for another call....there is lots of support on the site so call on the other members when needed..............

    Michael, I see your son left for G.L. on Dec. 4th. My son left on Dec. 2nd. We received a call about 11:30 pm that night. We received his box of clothes on Friday, Dec. 5th. I hope you got your phone call. It made his mom and I feel better knowing he arrived there safe. He is in the hands of the Navy now.
