Elmo, I have put together a Power Point Presentation and saved it to a jump drive. It is to large a file to email. I will drop it in the mail today for your viewing. I am excited about your store and it's possibilities! Thanks again for your interest in my products. Call me anytime @ 205.310.0330 or 205.330.7750. Talk soon!  Sid

Thanks so much for the warm invite and especially for this website.

My wife joined Navy Moms and see was always chatting with everyone and they helped her with the transition of high school senior to Navy SR., so I thought I would join Navy Dads and hopefully connect with dads who are going through the same thing I'm going through and also gain some insight into what to expect next.

This was a great idea for a website and you've done a great job.  I commend you for it.

Thanks again for the invite and also on the website.

I thank you very much for creating this place where uninformed, but very proud Dads can learn about their son/daughter's new journey.

Thank you so much

Unfortunately my stay at navy dads will be short and i suspect a little different. Daughter joined Navy ROTC 9 months ago, she wanted to be a Navy Nurse as she is getting her degree in  nursing. She has been asked to Drop on request. Great GPA, deans list with several accomplishments as squad leader indoc medical lead and Pres, of College ROTC. No real reason for DOR other than there is no slots for her class. Just not sure what to advise her in signing DOR, does she have too. What should she be concerned with?

thanks for the welcome to this very informative site you've done a fine job with this, I'm sure it has helped many first time parents thanks again

Many thanks, Elmo. I received notice today that Joe has been assigned to Division 917 and is just finishing week 2. I will be a frequent visitor to this site.

Hi Elmo.

Thanks for the welcome!  My son was also aboard the Reagan, managed the hanger, he's an E-5.  He just left that duty this summer to train as a DOD firefighter, still within the Navy. His new orders to Penasacola start next week.  What was/is your son's duty on the Reagan?  My son joined the Navy in 2007 and joined the Reagan in August.  It was quite a privilege to see that ship and meet his fellow sailors.

I am also very proud of my son.

I found your site while looking for information to assist him with some trouble that's come his way.  He is in trouble for fraternizing with a guy who is an instructor at the school.  He graduated yesterday and had to check out of the barracks, as he wasn't leaving town until today.  His friend invited him to stay at his place and because of a disturbance at this fellow's house, which my son assures me he was not involved in, the Senior Chief found out he was at this place. There were no civilian arrests or citations, but the fallout is that my son is in trouble for "fraternizing" with this fellow.

I was trying to find resources to assist my son. He had the highest score in his firefighting school, and I hate to see this affect his record.

Please keep your fingers crossed for him.  I wish I had found this site some time ago, it's a great thing you've done for Navy families.  I am an IT person, is there anything I can do to help?

Thanks again Elmo!

That is just the information I needed.  Thank you so much!  I've been reading about boot camp and can see he will be conquering his hypodermic phobia rather quickly-excellent!  I can tell this is going to be a great resource for me. Thanks

Thank you for the welcome.  I am helping my 19 year old great nephew prepare for bc in April.  He will be entering the nuclear power program.  He has mentioned to me that he needs some dental care and that not getting it might cause his rejection at the initial medical checkup.  I am setting up an appointment with our local dentist to pursue this issue.  So, my concern at this moment is how the Navy handles dental issues  at this stage.  Do we really need to worry about him being rejected because of some cavities? Will these needs be met during boot camp? 

Thank you for the welcome and I applaud you with the idea for this site. I will share when the time is right so that it might help other parents. Mike

Thanks for all the great info...........very good site and community

Thank you so much!

Thanks to all for your kind words, we live in San Diego, so we are HUGE fans of all things Navy & Marines. My step-son Mike is currently at RTC and I am sure getting quite the experience. He is going to be a Corpsman, and plans to go "Greenside" when he's done with schooling. Very proud, and glad to have this site available to us.

God Bless.

Thanks Elmo........Nice last name

Elmo, A HUGE thank you for creating this site! I'm a newbie to this so I find coming here to be both helpful and comforting. Your efforts here along with the rest of your staff are greatly appreciated!
