    Wil, Welcome Aboard!

    When my son first enlisted in the Navy I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to his future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads but found out 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 hope this site will benefit fathers that follow 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. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your daughters journey in the Navy. Thank Kirsten for her service for me and yours as well.Thanks again for joining us.

    Sincerely, E.G.

    Hi Wil,

     

    thanks for sharing all the great information regarding your experience at PIR.  Oh yeah... CONGRATS! My son arrived for BC on 3/24 and so far we believe he scheduled for PIR on 5/20.  He too will be heading across the way to GL of A school.  How long after Liberty Call were you able to actually leave base and roam about town? I heard it could take up to 5 hours from Liberty Call?  

     

    Thanks!
