Mr.Sailorette, with all your respect. I really don't undestand your position here. First, this site is for fathers and mother who's children are serving in themost prestigious Navy in the whole world. The United Stated Navy is amulticultural government organization and is very aware of the different cultures and religions and languages. Today's Navy undestand diversity and as matter of fact the Navy speaks clearly about this;

"Our Nation is diverse; our Navy must be no less so. When we recognize and capitalize on the strength that diversity brings to the Navy, we are better able to develop new ideas and reach out to partners around the world. America’s greatest asset is not our assembly lines or weapons systems, or even our great ships, submarines, and airplanes... it’s our people.”

Vice Admiral Harry B. Harris, Jr., Deputy Chief of Naval
Operations for Communication Networks

Being part of America’s Navy means being a powerful reflection of what America is today. While we live in a society composed of diverse cultures, backgrounds and beliefs, we are united by our belief that  motivation and determination will lead to success. America’s Navy strives to be a place where individuals can attain leadership positions, further their educations and truly achieve something beyond themselves by serving their country – locally and globally. This focus on diversity is both our commitment now and our promise for the future.

America’s Navy truly is A Global Force For Good, where men and women of every cultural background proudly take the lead, bringing their different skills, backgrounds and talents to bear every day, creating an environment of excellence. We believe embracing diversity is vital to both our present and future as a military organization and as a nation. Our commitment is to do our absolute best to make sure every young man or woman who hears the call is welcomed into a family they will proudly call their own for the rest of their lives – a family that exists like no other on land, at sea or in the air.

Second Sir, what is this psychobabble definition of "manners". The way you described sounds like been paranoid of hearing other people in other languages. I assure you that NO ONE is talking about you. What happens on the United Nations building, the Pentagon, The White House, the Embassies, the schools, the churches, the mall, Europe, Asia, America..EVERYWHERE..you will always find people of other cultures speaking their native languages. In fact, did the English soldiers dicided to no to speak English in front of the Native Americans who did not speak any English at all?

Robert. That is a good point I had not considered. Time for myself to rethink my position.

I personally don't understand why anyone would be upset about another language being written on a site that is available on the world wide web.

The group Padres Latinos is a great idea. Our military is not comprised entirely of American citizens,though the Sailor speaks English, the parent is not required to or may not even have the need to if they live out of the country. This site was designed to help all parents not just the ones that understand English.
