I love sports- esp. baseball (like the Astros, Cardinals, Dodgers and even the Yankees), college football (go Horns!), golf- I shoot in the 70s (if it gets hotter than that I go inside :-), bicycling and meteorology (esp. hurricanes). Married for 31 years to my honey and best friend Peggy. Love to travel. Have a daughter who was in the Air Force and now is a senior at Colo. State. Am very proud of my son who has become very goal oriented now that he is in the Navy. I sincerely hope he can succeed at his preparatory school post basic training at Great Lakes, Ill. Great, nice honest young man and now sailor.
What Brought You To This Site:: My son is currently serving
What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:: Great. Would only improve a great young man and help him re-establish his personal goals. Glad to see him doing something he really believes in. He wants to be a part of something bigger than himself and now he is.

Raymond thanks for joining. I found navyformoms in searching for answers to my son's future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but 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 I hope this site will benefit fathers that come 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. Thank your son for his service for me. Good luck and thanks again for joining. Sincerely, EG
