I'm planning on sitting back and taking a vacation. When I go on vacation I try to leave work at home. So we'll see how it go's while I'm there for 5 days. Wish me luck on getting some R & R.

There are either 7 or 8 in the C school class. Andrew knows all but one first class from the fleet. He even met the instructor at Pensacola. He seems relaxed and ready for the first real classes today.
He found a church to join out there. I guess he really likes it. He won't be there long. His grad date is December 19. Andrew does not know whether he will release at graduation. They know his final destination and it was on the orders he received in Pensacola. His report date in Hawaii is January 17. He is not sure if he may report earlier that that date.

At 11:52am on November 14, 2008, Chuck said…: Hi Paul,
Andrew classed up for C school yesterday at Whidby Island. Two days of administrative stuff this week. Monday is back to the school grind. Projected grad date is Dec 19. I think that he plans to be home for Christmas. Hawaii is a long way, so we might have to go out to visit? His Squadron deploys so we have to wait to see what the schedule is before we decided for sure.

I often thought I was being way to hard on them at times (the ex often confirmed this) but now they have both told me that it has helped them in developing their individual characters. The courage to take on new responsibilities, the honor in serving and the committment to make something good happen for yourself. Does that sound like a Navy Dad or what!! I'm sure the "bear" did.... forgot, Conner will be based at KB as MA..no sea legs yet. Said something about guarding our "important ordinances", get it?

At 3:22pm on November 13, 2008, Craig said…: wow...like the new page Paul. How'd you do that? Nah...I'm still buzzing around like a madman. Conner is at top (where else?) in his MA class and has chosen King's Bay for 2 years, he'll grad 12Dec...Meg shipped Wed am
for P'cola NAS with a huge class so she might be there for a bit. Site has gotten quite busy hasn't it. BravoZulu to you...

At 8:50pm on November 11, 2008, Jim Hadfield said…: Paul, Great website. I saw the ad for navy mom's on TV and decided to see if there was a site for dad's... I couldn't wait. Our son is based in Kitsap and is currently on shore duty and working with SWFPC. We are extremely proud of him.

At 8:45pm on November 10, 2008, E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin said…: Paul I aim to please. I'm learning little by little.

At 7:15pm on November 10, 2008, Jamie (Coty's Mom) PIR 12-24-08 said…: I have a question can I book a room at the Navy Lodge if Iam not military?

At 8:01pm on November 9, 2008, Robert Steib said…: Paul,

Thanks for your comments. I am very proud of Marcus and hope that things will go well for him. Wow, 7 months what was Kats thoughts and experience be out for that long, how is Eric doing with his tour. Marcus is currently in (RTC) at Great Lakes, I was able to speak with him for 2 minutes on Saturday and his voice sounded shaky, not like he was having a very fun time, what were Kat and Eric's feelings about Boot Camp.

I just want this phase to end and then have him become a sailor.

At 1:56pm on November 9, 2008, Craig said…: Paul,
I have too many words to express my feelings right now...elation, amazement, sacrifice, calmness, excitement to start. Meg has absolutely NAILED IT... one hit total on inspections, honor grad, squad leader, mentor for several "younger" recruits, got to salute and later meet Admiral Roughead, CNO, and on and on...she is absolutely amazing as far as I'm concerned. To have several of our Navy's elite Admirals and CO's tell me that I did a good job getting her to them and be told that it was their turn to "take care" of her is, well, something that only a proud parent of 2 fine young sailors could ever want.

At 12:09pm on November 7, 2008, Michele said…: Yes he is finally graduated A-school, on Halloween :). He will be on hold for a month or two he says, they are behind on orders, I don't if this is only affecting AT ratings or all ? I am hoping to make a trip down for Thanksgiving and bring him home for about 3 days before returning him to base. I think he is hoping to get S.C. or Virginia as his command and C-school location. All I know for now :). Thank you for asking. . . God Bless, Michele

How are your sailors getting along? They both on ships out to sea?

At 11:55am on November 7, 2008, Kenorian said…: Thanks for that! There is, actually, one smoking spot on a sub (at least fast attacks). In the machine room where the emergency diesel is located. Funny, 'cause the machinist mates control the two passes that can be used at any given time. You see nukes, officers, all hanging 'round the diesel!

At 11:26am on November 7, 2008, Chuck said…: Paula,
I am member #2 of CG Dads. Looking forward to some others finding the site. I will forward your thans to my boys only if you send my best to your two!

At 9:43am on November 7, 2008, Chet Hayes said…: I will pass on the message to Sean--Thanks
The "sandbox" :- ) Sean will get a kick out of that nickname.

At 7:32am on November 7, 2008, Chuck said…: How's thing with your two sailors?
Andrew classes up on the 13th for C school. I think the break from school has been good. His assignment at the base medical was a break to get refocused. He is talking about getting home for a while for Christmas.
My younger son, Adam just began the process of contacting the Coast Guard. We will see how that goes.

At 7:17am on November 7, 2008, Chet Hayes said…: It's a pleasure to locate a site which everyone has a vested interest. You must be a proud dad having 2 children in the Navy. The Navy for my son has been such a positive experience. The last couple of years he has matured into a fine young man. Sean is currently at ONI in DC. I just learned last week that he volunteered to go to Baghdad. He'll be training with the Army for 4 months after Christmas and then heading overseas. We all get to spend a few weeks with him in December before he goes to AZ. It will be a very special time during the holidays.

At 7:16am on November 4, 2008, Kathy Baker-Robs Mom said…: PIR was AWESOME!!! We parked on base with everyone else. Got there about 730. WEwere directed to go straight to the drill hall. YOUmight have to check in at the visitors center check point. Make sure you bring comfortable walking shoes!! And ID for everyone over 18. No smoking on base of course. There are DIV# signs to sit in the vicinity of that! You wait and wait for the DIV to march in. ITS AWESOME WHEN THEY OPEN THE BIG DOORS!!!!After the divisions march in there is alot of blah blah blah THEN LIBERTY is called. You have 10 minutes to find your Sailor and get outside. Your Sailor will then give you the low down on whats in store for the weekend. There is this thing called Military Bearing. Your sailor has strict rules that he must abide by while in uniform and he promptly told us about it. We went to the Gurnee mall( ITS HUGE!!), to a beatuiful beach in Waukegan/ Beach Park. Its off SHERIDAN and WADSWORTH, on Sherdain BEFORE Wadsworth there is a very nice park little kidos will love. THERE IS OVERNIGHT LIBERTY. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR SAILOR IS DOING!!
