Please Share: How Did You Find Us?
My wife found you while search for information about the Navy.
We call this a "journey" because it is! You'll learn a ton of things and experience some highs and you'll have to endure some lows. All part of having sailors in the family. Click things and explore...we have so much on the site it takes time to find it all! And spend serious time in the Bootcamp and PIR Tips groups.....a lot of info in there to help you navigate the next few weeks!
Welcome aboard to NavyDads.com Jeff! When my son first enlisted, I was a little scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. What I found out was that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I found lots of answers to my questions right here on NavyDads.com.
My son Stephen was an AWO2 in the P-3 community. However, after 6 years of service, he was medically discharged in July of 2014. We are proud of our son and his service to our country.
Welcome to Navy Dads, Jeff. We all understand how difficult it is to transition into a Military family. I'm glad to hear that you are already learning about Navy life! There are a lot of changes coming. Make sure to join the Boot Camp group and PIR group. The knowledge and tips will help to carry you through the next few months. Ask any questions that come up. Most importantly....use the site for the support that you need. That is why we are here!
