Boot camp dads

are there any dads whose son or daughter has a PIR date of July 30th. Also anyone have a son in E.O.D. My son said he will be carrying the division flag at PIR. Is this a big honor? This is all new to us.

She began her Navy career as a first-year medical student at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda MD. Well, it's been a year filled… Continue

Another proud day in my life

I had another proud moment in my life today. My wife Sherry and I took our youngest son (Ethan) to the recruiters office and he has set a date of Thursday June 10th to go take his ASVAB test and follow in his brothers footsteps into the United States Navy. This was the first of many steps for Ethan to take to get into the line of work that he is wanting to do. We went through this 2 years ago with Trevor, so we knew the routine this time around. I can't wait to see Ethan to grow into the man… Continue
