I can't wait to get the letter so I can book travel lol!! I did, however receive his 'box' today and he just arrived there Tuesday night. they work fast.

Hi Jim. I just saw that you posted about a Meet and Greet before PIR. Will I receive notification when it's to be scheduled when his PIR date comes? My son is just 3 days in at RTC.

Thank you Jim. I'm so thankful for this site. Although my StepDad is retired Navy, brother retired Marine and my Father 101st in WW2 getting use to my child going away never entered my mind. I am so, so proud beyond words. Scared to death too lol

Thank You Jim, Bailey will become the newest family member of a long line of sailors. Initially I was joinging the US Navy but I ended up becoming a Coastie and was involved in SAR and LEDET. I know my Great gradfathers are relieved that my son is bringing us back into the Navy lineage..LOL! Thanks for the welcome to the site, and look forward to the sites open forums. 

Be Safe! and HOOYAH!!!

Thanks Jim, I'm playing a little "catch up" so my apologies for being late to respond. I also have no military back ground (except for both grandfathers who are both passed) so this will be a learning experience for both my wife and I. NavyDads.com looks like an excellent place to ask questions, get help and as someone else told me, brag a little. 

Thank you, Jim for the welcome.  This site has been such a help to my husband and I - especially because we haven't heard from our son yet, and it seems like there's so much to learn.  We're patiently waiting for that first letter.  In some ways, we figure that no news is good news!  We really appreciate all of the info that you're providing!

Thank you so much, Jim, for the warm welcome! I am glad this web site exists and I'm grateful for the time you put in to running it. I really appreciate the story you shared about your son. I know I will be on this site a lot because despite having served 15 years in the Army, I know virtually nothing about the Navy. Thanks again and take care!

Thanks for the welcome.  My Dad and brother both served in the navy may years ago.  My son is the youngest of 3 and the only boy.  I miss him immensely.  He told me he wanted to be a medical corman so I am not sure if that is where he will end up.  His sisters and I wanted to make sure that he would receive our letters.  I received a box with his clothes and phone but I have not received anything else yet so I don't have an address to write him yet. 

Thanks for the warm welcome! I will check out the Facebook page.

Thank you Jim, It will be a blessing to have other Brothers and Sisters to talk to. My daughter has been away for a year now and it seems like years. Thank you again!.
