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

    Chet, 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

    HooYah Chet! It sounds like your son is doing well. Your concerns about his decision to volunteer for a stint in the "sandbox" are certainly understood- on the other hand you must be terribly proud that such a fine American stepped up to the plate, so to speak, as have so many other brave sons and daughters. Sean is an example of what is the best in the United States! Please thank him for me....Paul
