My daughter AO2 Jessica Tejeda has complied with her tour of duty and is back home.

As a father and a veteran, I am so happy she is now a veteran.

She may miss being in the Navy, but life goes on.

Very proud of her serving our country for the last 6 years.

But, I will remain a Navy Dad even though I am a veteran of the U.S. Army because your group have been there for me and everyone else.

I finish with carry on,…

My lil sailor on the flight deck of the USS America, Monday, Sept. 15, 2014 after the Navy's newest war ship transited around South America. What a proud moment on Saturday, Oct. 11 to see her standing on the deck as the ship was commmissioned in beautiful San Francisco...Bravo Zulu all those who sail with her.

Thank you for welcoming me to NavyDads I found this web site while searching for information

relevant to my  son in the Navy. Like all of you, I could not be any prouder of him and all the

brave men and women that serve in our military. Certainly, freedom  is not free!

My son enlisted after 2 years of college because of his patriotism and  sense of duty.

I wanted him to finish college, but he promised me  that  he will, while in the NAVY. 

He became an AT and worked…

My son is seriously interested in joining the Navy but his main concern is life aboard a ship.  He believes that once he is stationed aboard a ship, he would be at sea for months on end.  Can anyone tell us what the duration aboard ship would be while at sea?  I informed him that he probably wouldn't be at sea for more than 30 days before pulling in to port for supplies/fuel.  Would this be accurate?

Thank you in advance.
