Describe A Little About Yourself (your IP address/location will be checked::
Single and proud father of my Son Nick, who is currently serving aboard the USS Mahan DDG72, on his second deployment and my daughter and her fiance who live in Florida, who ared getting married next summer. I play in a local classic and southern rock band, Southern Spirits. I never served our country in the armed forces, but I am a retired police officer. I love football, music and my kids and I thank everyone who has made the decision to serve our country!
What Brought You To This Site:
My son is currently serving
What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:
It was a combination of pride and sadness. Of course like any parent, you hate to see your kids leave the nest. But, when I think of what he is doing and the opportunities he will have, it made me feel good to know that he will have these opportunities. And Nick's achievements to date have made me a typical proud father!
What Is Your Relationship With Your Sailor
Dad
