Yes, sorry we did not meet up. Things were crazy this weekend weren't they? When we had a chance to relax as a family we did so. I think I put on quite a few pounds this weekend. :)

Thanks for the message. My daughter is looking forward to CA and the warmth and beach. She said she can not wait to go running on her free time with her mp3 player. She also said she plans on not using all her free time so that she can excel in her studies (music to my ears).

HM(FMF),
Greeting Doc! Congrats to the new Sailor!!!!!!

Welcome to NavyDads HM (FMF)! 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 HM (FMF)this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Ryan is doing!

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. Thanks to one of our members we have two excellent videos that you can access from the Video area on the NavyDads.com main page: New Bootcamp 1 of 2 and New Bootcamp 2 of 2. These videos will answer many of your questions and concerns and will give you a better understanding of how the United States Navy transforms our children into sailors!

Be sure to spend some time in the Bootcamp group- there are many questions and answers available to help you understand what your sailor is going through. And 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. And HM (FMF) - thank you for your service to our great country. Best Regards- Paul
