Welcome aboard Owen.
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.
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 2000 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 son Cody on his enlistment and please thank him for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.

Hi Owen. You're Cody's daddy, and Shelley's hubby, right? Glad to be connected. Hope he's doing well in Japan. I know my son would love to be there. We have friends there, well, my heart sister, Yumiko passed away from cancer years ago. But, Eric has wonderful memories of her visits, especially when she brought her children, Shizuka and Yuki. Does Cody like sushi? Eric loves it. Eric eats seaweed peices like they were potato chips. LOL!!!!
Thanks to you and your family, and especially your son! I did a little search and I see yours was stationed in Korea. Mine is headed that way soon. I wonder if you would like to join my new group.

Hi Owen,
Thanks to you and your family, and especially your son! I did a little search and I see yours was stationed in Korea. Mine is headed that way soon. I wonder if you would like to join my new group.

I know it's a relatively small community so I can use everyone I can muster up!
