Join Navy Dads
Thanks for the welcome! My son has been in the Navy for 3 1/2 years. He joined in March 2008 and is a BM3 on the USS Roosevelt (DDG80). He is nearing (but not near enough) the end of his second deployment and of his active duty service. He'll begin terminal leave early next year and process out in March. Then he will be a reservist. I'm not sure, yet, what that will entail, but I'll learn more as time goes on. I have mixed feelings about that. Of course I want him home but the Navy was the best decision he could have made and I'd like to see him continue. But he'll be in the Reserves so he's not giving up the uniform completely so I'm happy about that! I'm coming to this group late (thought it was just for Dads) but have been involved in Navy-Parents, NavyforMoms a little bit, and, of course, facebook. I have received tremendous support from my Navy family and hope I was helpful to them as well. I love bragging about my son because I am beyond proud of him, I love sharing what I've learned if it can be helpful to someone else and I love learning new things from those who have gone before me. He may have enlisted, but, in the process, I was drafted...and I couldn't be happier about that!
Play the following video for a brief introduction to NavyDads.com. We've made some cosmetic changes to the site since this video was made, but navigation remains the same.
Again Welcome and keep us updated to your Sailor’s Progress.
HooYah US Navy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful information for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful. There is also a link called Navy Enlisted Ratings, this link will take you to a brief description of the rates (jobs) in the Navy that you can find your sailors rate and find out some information about the rate that they are in.
First and foremost though we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6 yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 2000 members, Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers, girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you and your son Michael on his enlistment and please thank him for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.
