Hi & Thanks for the Welcome,

My experiences with children & the military go back to Desert Storm when our Oldest was in the Army Reserves and hit sand on Day 1. He later attended the US Naval Academy - USNA96 & currently is a USMC Major,... his younger brother is a 10year Soldier/Musician currently in Afghanistan, our daughter was a Soldier for 5 years & is now a Mom, our youngest son is a new GM aboard the Anchorage looking forward to his first cruise. He was an EM3 the Nuke program but due to illness was dropped halfway through. That usually means you're all the way out but he lucked-out and was accepted for GM school. Seems he found he likes things that go BOOM! '-)! :D

Calvin, thank you for the welcome, and from Paul as well.  I see that I have a bit of homework to do, not sure what I can post yet. However, my son is on schedule to graduate early next month , the whole family is flying out to see him.

Thank you for the welcome, Calvin.

My boy just landed in Chicago and arrived at Great Lakes last night.

This is the first time I've ever joined a internet group of any sort and look forward to exploring this site and  getting to know the folks here.

Thanks for the advice about joining SEALS Dads group. I'm a bit hesitant to do that yet, wondering if there's a group for the pre-BUD/S group that includes my son at Great Lakes? I know there's such a group for the Moms...?

My son is just starting Pre-Buds. Should I join the SEAL Dads group or is that only for Dads of actual SEALS? What would be the best group for me to join?

Hi Calvin,

  Thank you for your response and the Welcome aboard! A huge congrats to your Grandson for getting his Trident!  My Son was just deployed yesterday and is on his way to only God knows where.  I guess I'm having a bit of a tough time with him leaving because of what's going on and where they are going to be heading.  My second oldest Son is currently serving in the Army and is in Afghanistan.  Having both of my boys deployed at the same is pretty rough.  Luckily my son Devon will be coming home by December. It seems like the closer he gets to coming home the more nervous I tend to get.  Sorry, I'm starting to ramble lol.  Anyway,  I just wanted to say thank you and I'm looking forward to spending a lot more time on this site.

God Speed!

Thanks Calvin for the Weather/Water Temp page at Coronado. I've bookmarked it and will surely check it often!

Thank you Calvin. My father was in the Navy & then the Army and served during the Korean War. My FIL was in the Army for Peace Keeping after Korea. My BIL was a Marine and was sleeping outside the Beirut barracks which were bombed in 1983. My Grandfather was in the Italian Army. I also have other relatives that served or are currently serving. 

We are proud of our son, but I am nervous at the same time. 

Thank you to all the men & women who are serving or have served. It's because of people like you that we enjoy the freedom & lives we have today. God Bless America!

Calvin,

 

Thank you for the kind words.  Our son is the first to serve from my side of the family, my wife is a Navy brat.  Her father went thru the academy and graduated in 1957.  Her brother graduated in 1986 and her other brother served 20 years in the fleet.  We can't wait to see what he can do.  I will be on this site ofter.  Jason is half way thru with basic on his way as a air rescue swimmer.

Thank you sir.  I wish I had known about this site when my son started boot camp, or was in Power School and Prototype.   This is a great site with tons of useful information for military families.
