Patrick is graduating a school dec 9th and will be driving home at Christmas.  I hate to say it but I do not recall his class #.  They start power school in February.  I know that Pat cannot leave school until the day after xmas (some duty nonesense or the other) but he would welcome passengers if it would help.  United from Charleston to Charlotte, to TPA seems to be the best plane routing we found.

Ron, 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 learn about the Navy. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your sons decesion in joining the Navy. Thank Chris for his soon to be service for me and for yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.

Sincerely, E.G.

Ron--- check out this Career Planning Group link.....there is some info about the rates and available billets in the charts.

For the very few jobs available, advise your son to study for the ASVAB as much as posssilble to score as high as possible----if he can get into the 95 or so range he has a good choice of being offered the rate though he'll be pushed towards beng a Nuke....stand firm and get everything in writing!!

Welcome to NavyDads Ron! I'm sure you'll NavyDads.com useful, educational and informative. Please explore the site and make some Navy friends, add your comments to a discussion or two, read the postings in the various groups-- even start a few. I certainly have! If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your future sailor and what he will be going through...be sure to post them! I'm sure someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the right direction to find out. I'm lucky enough 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 five-year enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Ron this is a great place to brag about your future sailor as well! So join in and be sure to let us know how Chris is doing! We do ask that you remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors in mind at all times. On the right 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 and the NavyDads Guidelines link.

As a parent of a future sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son will be going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Take a few minutes to read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your future sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos as they address many of your questions and concerns.

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
