Navy Dads Co-Admin Tom's Comments

Tom, I will definitely thank Christopher on behalf of you and everyone here! He has been an inspiration for me since we became friends nearly a decade ago. I helped him finish his bachelors and begin his masters program after he retired. He has encouraged me for some time to explore a career in the Navy. After finishing two masters programs of my own, I would like to put that knowledge to good use, and become a great leader. The Navy looks like a great place to do just that. I am happy to be able to learn more about the Navy here, and I am even more happy to be so well received. 

Thanks  Tom

I joined this to learn what my son is going through , he is currently in Goose greek A school ET

I'm happy to help in whatever way I can.

Thank you Tom,  appreciate it! Can you tell me how I find a group for my PIR date? I'd love to find a support group of some kind that we can share what we hear is going on during this process. It's what I call this as a mom it's a total process having our children leave home its an adjustment that's for sure!  

thank you for your help and all the info here is great. ive made reservations for the trip to see my son graduate. they are on hold until I hear for sure. so excited to see him we all miss him like crazy

Thank you very much for the encouragement , what a good website to have.  Kinda been in the dark on the entire "boot camp" process.

Thank you again

Matt

Not sure of the rating, but his A school is in Goose Creek, SC. 

Thank you Tom! I've been visiting the site daily for updates from others with children at bootcamp. =) I've found so much great information. It has definitely helped my husband and I.

Hi Tom,

Riley is in San Antonio at A school

Hi Tom, Thank you for the warm welcome and we are grateful for this resource. Bobby is heading to OCS on Saturday and hopes to become an aviator!

Thanks for the welcome. I'm sure many things have changed in the 40 years since I was at Great Lakes. We are a long line of sailors and think Jen made the best decision she could have made. I look forward to meeting other Navy Dads. Thanks again

Thanks, Tom. I have been watching the videos of rtc for a couple of weeks and doing a lot of reading.My son is in week 3 ,and it is so nice to see what his  training is week to week. What a great site and so much info!

Thanks,  Tom.  With a ship date of March2017, I have a lot of time to see what is coming.  I think I am doing for research on what to expect then Joe is.  That is the grey area of parenting, knowing when to step back and let them go!  This will be hard, knowing there will be ups and downs he will face.  But the military is the right thing for him now, at this point in his life.  I can't wait to see where he goes from here!

Tom, Thank for including me on this site, not sure why I didn't discover it sooner.  My son is currently deployed on the Eisenhower and is sweating it out with the other Nukes in the reactor department.  He'll be in 3 years this coming December and recently re-enlisted to do another 2 years for a total of 8. 

Thank you, Tom -- I've been reading and watching videos for the last few weeks, and I look forward to learning more from folks on this site.
