We had a wonderful turkey day with our son Brandon and his friend Keaton. They are looking forward to Battle Stations and graduating on 12-3-10, but more than that, they want their DIV 903 to win the Captain's Cup.

Got a Letter!!!!

This was truely a wonderful day. We got our first letter from our son Brandon. He explained that this was the first time he had to write which was dated 10-24-10. All is well and he is enjoying his time in basic training, making new friends and learning new skills. He is in DIV903 and he says this is the high performance division. Past recruits in this DIV have done exceptionally well in Basic training and his is also doing well. One of his biggest delights was that he gets to have Hidden… Continue

Hello Jerry and Sterlon, Our son Brandon is also on Ship2/DIV 903 and headed for nuke school after PIR 12/3. We also have not heard anything from him, just the kid box and the form letter. This is starting week 4 and Momma is getting a little anxious. If anyone hears from their recruit, please forward day and time as well as how long you got to talk.

Dean it was sure nice to meet you and Donna at the meet and greet! Hope you had a wonderful time with Brandon! Sorry we did not get to meet him or go out to dinner with all of you.. Our son was not released until 1700 hours or 500pm for us civilians.

Jerry, 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 sons journey in the Navy. Thank Brandon for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.

Sincerely, E.G.

Welcome to NavyDads.com Jerry! I'm sure you'll find NavyDads as useful, educational and informative as I have. Please explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. I certainly have! If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. I'm blessed to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) is stationed on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) just completed her enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Jerry this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how Brandon is doing! Please remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors and the fleet in mind. On the right or starboard side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link for some guidelines as to what we should and should not talk about in a public forum.

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. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well.

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. Best Regards- Paul
