Tim, "roller coaster" is right! Christopher's choices for his future have always leaned toward the death-defying kind! We can not and would not ever want to stand in the way of his destiny, but he keeps us on our knees! :)
Thanks all for the warm welcoming to the site. In the name of my family and sepecialy my son Samuel future US Sailor THANKS! We pray for all of them and for those who already served our belovers veterans like my father-in-law Enrique Ruiz, WWII Korean veteran. GOD BLESS ALL...
Cool, alot of military history there. We're from California, came to Enid (Vance AFB) by way of Anchorage Alaska (Elmendorf AFB). When it came time to get out we decided we liked Oklahoma, and adopted it as home. It's been a good place to raise the kids. Hey, we've got some friends that live in Shawnee. I'm not going to ask if you know them, I always feel like that's a dumb question when I get ask it because I know Shawnee is big and you probably don't know everyone... lol Until later...... Mark
Thanks Tim for the welcome. Being Air Force myself for ten years has been a big help for dealing with Daniels Enlistment, but there's still so much information about the Navy I need to find out, that's for sure. The one thing I have found since he enlisted is that I sure miss the companionship/Camaraderie of the Military family. It is truly unique. That's why I'm glad I found this site........ looking forward to sharing with all the pride of being a Navy Dad.
Thank you Tim for your reply and I have been able to get a response from my son that he is ok which is what I was seeking. I have passed along how proud I am of him to serve his country and what an honour that is. You can tell I am new to this and appreciate the Navy Dads Admin to help me navigate my questions/concerns. Thank you again, Ellen
Can't find anything thing that prohibits me from promoting Naval products I have on EBay for sale, would like to share the opportunity to purchase these items at a fraction of the cost.
Thank you for all the information Tim! This is all pretty new to me, but my son has wanted this for along time. After college he told me that to join the Navy is what he wants to do. The Ceremony after Boot Camp was fantastic. He has now been in San Diego for 3months in SWCC training and is doing well. It is a tough road ahead of him, but I know he can do it. This is a proud and very supportive family we have joined and we will always back all of our Servicemen and women. God Bless you and all of our Service members.
As a new Navy dad I don't yet quite understand the whole "rating" thing. However, my son just graduated from NC State University and was commissioned about three weeks ago. He is set to go to Goose Creek SC October 3.
