Anita, sorry you got a curt answer, I think I know the one you mean and I was a little taken aback by it as well, but in thinking about it more I don't believe the author meant it the way it sounded... at any rate, yes, I know the maze of acronyms is confusing. If you look on the main page of this web site, there is a link to a list of all the more common ones used, which can help. If you think it appropriate, you should view the video's showing boot camp,etc. to your daughter, to try and help her understand where her brother has gone. Tell her what a good thing it is that he is doing. If I can answer any of your specific questions I would be glad to help, my wife and I know what it is like to share the fears and concerns, can't imagine going it alone so you will have to be strong for you, your daughter and your Corpsman.

Hello Anita, what are your questions? My son just returned from Iraq 3 weeks ago, so of course we too worry when he will be re-deployed to Afgan-land, but... this is the course our sons have chosen, and it is not a bad decision, even if dangerous at times. Just think of the mothers and fathers who have sons who have chosen a life of drugs or crime... just as much or more danger, with no redeeming results or pride in accomplishments. Your son obviously has great talent to have made into the ranks of corpsman, no small feat. Take a deep breath, thank God you have a great son that you can be very proud of, and be strong for him in these weeks and months to come. Again, let us know what your questions are, there are many fathers here who can try to answer them... Ron

Anita, Welcome Aboard!

My son is an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca. and my family and I couldn't be prouder of him. When he first enlisted I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to my son's future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. We have many moms on the site and benefit greatly from their point of views and we are willing to help the moms in any way we can. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your Sailor. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your sons journey in the Navy. Thank John for his service for me and for yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.

Sincerely, EG

Welcome to NavyDads Anita! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun, useful, and educational as I have. Explore the site 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 certainly 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 in the family - my son Eric (AM3) recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) returned last fall from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Anita this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how John 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. And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com. Show your support for NavyDads by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire. Best Regards- Paul
