Welcome Mark, I am from Amherst and my wife is from Hudson. You ill find all on this site very helpful, even the "Yankee" fans. there is more help and information available here than you could possiblely imagine. Please shout if can help you.

Yes, we should make this site stand strong! I esp like our group Navy Moms which makes you feel like family. I as a Navy Vet and a parent of two boys who are Corpsmen prefer this site for I can relate and it offers more of a technical perspective. Yet there are days I visit the N4Ms for my Mom fix. Wish we had the tech when we were in so my mom would had a better understand what was happening in my and my brothers life (We are both in the USN). He was on a ship and I was on an island having a great time. If she only knew...Now we as parents/grandparents/spousal units can truly have understanding what our love ones are living and experiencing.
Welcome Aboard!
Bravo Zulu for becoming the 4000th member. Hope you will find the site informative and helpful as your family member progresses through the Navy. My son has just re-enlisted for another 6 years going for 14. Leaving his first shore duty and headed for the IKE after a short C school in P'cola.
Surprise! Bet'cha didn't think it'd be this overwhelming!
Hola Mark! Welcome to NavyDads! And congratulations on becoming the 4,000th member of this great site. The other members were so helpful and supportive during the communication blackout days of RTC. There is everything here to help you deal with the new world which your family has entered. My son graduated boot camp January 21st, and every now and then he speaks to me in a language very foreign to me. so the Navy lingo link is just one of many helpful links! Hooyah!
Please feel free to ask questions.
Again Welcome and keep us updated as to you recruit’s progress.
HooYah US Navy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome Mark. New Hampshire was a favorite destination of ours when I was growing up. Our sailor son is a submariner with the USS W. VA.
Welcome Mark. My sdon Mike is on the George Washington in Japan
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful information for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful. There is also a link called Navy Enlisted Ratings, this link will take you to a brief description of the rates (jobs) in the Navy that you can find your sailors rate and find out some information about the rate that they are in.
First and foremost though we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6 yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 4000 members, Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers, girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you and your son Steven on his enlistment and please thank him for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.

Great to have you here Mark.
Great site. Lots of answers to all the questions.
Welcome aboard to Navy Dads Mike! This is certainly a great site, with great members and run by great people! Navy Dads is the perfect place for lots of information listed on the site and you are always able to ask questions. Good luck to yourself and your sailor!
Welcome aboard Mark!
As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well.
As PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your sailor's PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul
