  Welcome to NavyDads Phil! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun and useful as I have. Explore 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 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- my son Eric is on the second half of a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Phil this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how James is doing! Best Regards- Paul

  Phil it gets better. My son is 9 months in and stationed in San Diego on the USS Ronald Reagan. He is an ABE on the flight deck working with the catapult system and launches the aircraft. So the good part is that he is in SD and what could be better than that. But I can't help but sharing his special duty. I spoke to him the other day and he told me he was on dumpster duty. So I asked, what is dumpster duty? So he told me it was exactly what it says, his duty that day was to stand in front of the dumpsters for four hours to make sure no one got in their trash. So after hearing that I learned that the Navy's trash must be protected and the documents and such in it must not fall into others hands. So the Navy has a long list of odd jobs for our new Sailors. I thought this was a funny one, so I wanted to share.
