Welcome aboard Joshua.
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful information for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful. There is also a link called Navy Enlisted Ratings, this link will take you to a brief description of the rates (jobs) in the Navy that you can find your sailors rate and find out some information about the rate that they are in.
First and foremost though we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6 yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 4000 members, Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers, girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you and your girlfriend Ashlee on her enlistment and please thank her for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.

because the Navy pays for NavyforMoms--- it's a recruiting site and as such one of the biggest ad firms in the country takes care of advertising up and including national TV ads paid for by the US Navy....we are ALL volunteers and do not receive one cent of support from anyone....
There is a meet and greet and the Ramada before PIR on Thursday nights. Remember you only have a recruit at RTC for a few weeks...most of us attended our PIRs a number of years ago
