Thanks for the encouraging comments, and thank you for your service for our country.

Based on your comments, I'm heading to the paper and pen right now to craft a note and send to my son. I'll wish him Happy 20th Birthday which is in a few days.

This site has been very helpful in letting me know what my son is going through, and I really enjoy the community of parents and others here that have the same sense of honor for their kids, and the same prayer focus as these young ones train for service in our Navy.

Thanks again,

John

It sounds like they are a close knit group. This is going much better than I anticpated. I am very proud of Shelby and I so respect our Soldiers, Airmen and especially Sailors.

I would love to join your grop. Please send me the invite and I will accept. Thanks again for the friend request and keep in touch! :) Thanks for starting the Intel site! Gary

At 3:52pm on June 20, 2011, Gary Stang said…: Thanks Gil! I am very proud of Shelby as she has been doing just great so far since she entered bootcamp in Jan. She has been working extremely hard just like your daughter. Thanks for the information! You are right everything is hush, hush. We already bought her airline tickets home in between schools as she had to put in for leave by tomorrow and she had to show them her flight information. Her ticket was over $500 so I sure hope she is able to come home. I am glad your daughter is doing well and have fun when she is home on leave. Where are you from? We live in Eden Valley MN. I was also in the Navy for about 7 years.

Do you know when your daughter found out? How long was your daughters C school. Shelby will be coming home between schools if there is lag time between the two schools. Does your daugther know where she is going next? Thanks for the invite!

At 3:04pm on November 16, 2010, Kent Griffey said…: Thanks Gil,
To have them home for Christmas will be awesome, it's worth the expense without a reimbursement much less with one. Will keep these kids in our prayers to be safe and stay on schedule. Thanks for the info, that makes my day.

When my son first enlisted in the Navy I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to his future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads but found out I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. I'm new at this and hope this site will benefit fathers that follow behind us. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your Sailor. I'm so glad to find out their are so many proud Navy Dads just like myself. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your daughters journey in the Navy. Thank Sherleyl for her service for me and thanks again for joining us.

Sincerely, E.G.
