    Robert, 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. Thank your son for his service for me and thanks again for joining. Sincerely, EG

    Welcome to NavyDads Robert ! 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 is almost two months into a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat just returned from her seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Robert this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Marcus is doing! Best Regards- Paul

    Robert- keep the faith my friend! It is such a huge transformation that our children have to undergo at Great Lakes. The first couple of weeks are very difficult and many of our sons and daughters have wondered "what am I doing here?" But it is amazing that at some point our kids reach down inside themselves and find a level of inner strength they did not know they had and they succeed. I'm not sure how long Marcus has been at Great Lakes, but it is important for you to write and show your support. Tune in to the Bootcam group and you'll see many comments just like yours. When you see Marcus' division march in at his PIR you'll see a different man than the one you sent to Great Lakes....

    Meanwhile...Greg has a discussion he wrote about PIR and the changes he saw with his son...you should make a point to read it and the follow-up comments. Paul
