Elmo, thanks for your supporting words and launching this site and movement to keep parents informed and linked to others who are new to this experience.
We just got the call from our son yesterday that he completed battle station yesterday and will
graduate tomorrow 7/13! We are so proud that he made it, because this was his decision. Wa have another 17 year old hig school sr approached by the recruiter but have not made his decision yet
Again, thanks for your support! Looking forward to new experiences. Go Navy!
Thanks, Elmo i'm sure i will be using this site alot since i'm sure i will have a lot of questions. Even though my daughter was in the dep program for almost 1 yr, this last month has been a whirlwind. again thanks for the welcome aboard and look forward to talking to you in the future.
Elmo: Thanks for the comments and support. We're somewhat experienced with USN as our oldest is an 11-year LCDR. Our youngest enlisted in May is about to complete boot camp, then soon (we hope) off to BUDS. We'll try to share what we know with others who are less experienced.
Elmo, thanks for the info. I'll be sure to give it all a look. I was an enlisted Nuc (one of the last IC's) and went on to become a Naval Flight Officer after an NROTC scholarship to the University of Florida where I got my engineering degree.
I was so proud of Matt's decision; he's doing so very well. We have received a dozen or so phone calls since he's been on the Lincoln and I can honestly say that we have not heard the first negative word. Thankful for that.
My son is on a plane now for Chicago. His life will not be the same after he gets off that bus at Great Lakes. Thanks for all the welcome and support on this site. Gene
Elmo, I really appreciate your email and I am so glad that I found 'Navy Dads'. Our son is completing his 2nd week of boot camp and I anxiously awaiting the first phone call or letter to see how he surviving boot camp. I look forward to posting his progress once we get that first letter or call.
I am ex-Air Force and two of my older sons entered bootcamp about a week apart - my older one is in the Navy, the younger in the Air Force. I know the least about the Navy, this site you created seems to ave a wealth of good info!
I'm not military, so the first thing I did was read OPSEC. My son enlisted in 2005 and has done a couple of deployments (Enterprise and Truman). He received the Navy and Marine Achievement Medal with the Truman. He was recently promoted to AT1. This is coming on the heels of his being selected for OCS as a Flight Officer Candidate.
Hello E.G.! Been thinking about you and Cindy for quite some time now. Hope all is well with you and the rest of your family. Hoping to get involved in Navy Dads and N4M's again. It has been a long time, really, since I've been on either one. Would love to get an update from you or Cindy on how things are going. She and I never had our phone chat last summer. :)

Hi Elmo:
Thanks for saying hello.
I'm not military, so the first thing I did was read OPSEC. My son enlisted in 2005 and has done a couple of deployments (Enterprise and Truman). He received the Navy and Marine Achievement Medal with the Truman. He was recently promoted to AT1. This is coming on the heels of his being selected for OCS as a Flight Officer Candidate.
I think I bragged within OPSEC guidelines.
