My son is recently enlisted (before PIR)
What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:
Nervous (still) but happy my son made a decision to do something beneficial until he really knows what he wants to do with his life. I will be more nervous if he makes it into B.U.D.S. (that's his goal), but I will probably be happier if he ends up in IS or IT.

    Jana,

    Sarge’s meet and greet is held the night before each PIR. All are welcome. There is food and information about what to expect the next morning as you make your way to the graduation.

    WELCOME ABOARD

    Please RSVP to this right here on NavyDads. Please keep a watch for the events listed on the starboard side of any of the pages here.

    Please provide your sailors division number, your first and last name, and the number of people attending.

    This event is open to all ages and is proudly sponsored by Sarge and his wife. There is no charge to attend the Meet and Greet. Recruits will not be present for this event.

    Sarge and his wife are the ones who purchase the food for you. They do this every week, for each P.I.R. group. The Lakehurst Event Center does not charge  to rent the space, that is their gift to the Navy families. Sarge doesn’t charge you for this food either, it is a free meal; however, if you wish to make a contribution to help defray the costs since this is out of pocket for him, that would be greatly appreciated.

    There is a contribution box at the Meet and Greet buffet table. This is strictly voluntary on your part and not a requirement to eat or attend.  During 2015 Sarge and his wife served 21,932 meals to our new Navy family. It could not have been done without your support. 

     

    Thank you in advance and we hope you are looking forward to meeting for a fun and informational night. Your email address will be kept private and will not be shared with anyone.

    it truly is a small word....x'fred to the Duval Battle Mountain mine site in '80...that property is now a Newmont property (Phoenix). As I was chief chemist, I know a lot of people in the assay lab and metallurgical areas.
