Retired NAVY Dad's Page

Hey Dave, thanks for the chat. Hope to talk to you soon again. Luis

We look forward to having someone with your experience helping answers questions and concerns from new NavyDads. We have several members that have retired from the Navy and they have been a great help in dealing with issues that come up....

The best thing you can do is to monitor the site and jump right in when you see a post that you can reply to. Right now we have a lots of concerns about the delays in classing-up....I gues many of our newer members haven't yet learned and the hurry-up and wait rule!!!!!

Dave- we're glad to have you on the site !! Best Regards- Paul

Hello Retired NAVY Dad! I wanted to introduce myself and say hello! You have been a member of NavyDads for quite some time and I may not have had to opportunity to touch base with you. As NavyDads Admin I hope you've found the site as fun and useful as I have. Continue to 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 Retired NAVY Dad this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Ron is doing! And thank you for your service to our great country. Best Regards- Paul

retired NAVy dad my wife fiqured it out. You and Chrystal have alot in common. Nice to see you both on here. Thanks again. EG

Hey Dave - Who do you think is more proud of their son, you or me? LOL =)

Well duh to me lol I see it is China Lake, CA. . .when I was younger (teenager) my family lived in CA, LA, Redding, French Gulch, and Anderson. I don't recall a China Lake. . .where abouts it that?

Dave - A quick note to say how ironic you & your wife have the same names as my aunt & uncle (married).
Do you do the teaching voluntarily or a business? I know the travel agency has to be a big hit with all those going to PIR's :). By the way, what area of U.S. do you reside in?

Dave - Thank you for the friend request :). Are you in the (J)ROTC program teaching? My daughter has been in that program through her high school career, this fall will be the start of her senior year. They grow up too fast! I have been on the Parent Board of JROTC since its conception 2 yrs. ago and the LTC (Army) keeps encouraging me to stay another year and another. Even though I am only a substitute teacher currently you couldn't convince me I am not certified by how I am a permanent fixture in the middle school and I have many friendships with administration and fellow teachers. Now I am babbling, if you aren't an ROTC instructor tell me what it is you teach? I love having a fellow educator aboard :). Oh and don't worry I will have some questions for you as they pop up lol.

Hope your family and you had a great Birthday (July 4th) weekend, only possible because of you and many others past & present!

God Bless,
Michele :)

I wanted to extend a 'welcome aboard'! I can see you are getting to know some folks on here :) They are all wonderful! As Terry did so well I also would like to thank you for your honor, courage, and commitment to serve our great country! To forewarn you, I always have lots of questions so if you can answer any of them for me it is greatly appreciated :). My son is in A-school in GL but will be going to Pensacola in about a month, he is going to be an AT. I noticed your son will graduate on 8-8-08, how neat! It will be a treat for you especially :).

God Bless,
Michele :)
