Profile Information:

Your Sailor's First Name (Please Do Not Post SEAL Names): Wes
What Is Or Will Be Your Sailor's Rating (Job Classification) - ex. ABE, AM, GM, etc: ATC?
Describe A Little About Yourself (your IP address/location will be checked::: Father, friend of my son!
What Brought You To This Site:: my son is recently enlisted
What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:: I was the main driver of this decision as I felt that he was not living up to his potential. My son is very bright but didn't seem to have a clue (I know that's not too unusual at age 19.) So we made a mutual decision for him to join. He seems to be very happy with the decision and I know that he'll really blossom as an integral member of the Navy team.
What Is Your Relationship With Your Sailor: Dad
Please Share: How Did You Find Us?: My wife told me about Navy Moms and I found it through that site.

Welcome to NavyDads Bob! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun, useful, and educational as I have. Explore the site 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 certainly 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 in the family - my son Eric (AM3) returned spring '09 from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) just completed her five-year enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Bob this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Wes is doing! We do ask that you remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors in mind at all times. On the right side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link and the NavyDads Guidelines link.

As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Take a few minutes to read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos as they address many of your questions and concerns.

As PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your sailor's PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul
