Watching NCIS and on one of the shows they talked about the Tiger Cruise. I got to thinking that I really would like to go on a Tiger Cruise because of my parents. And wanted to go where Dad had gone.

Welcome to Navy Dads Lynn! You won't be able to cruise the areas that you mentioned....but you might be able to experience life aboard a Naval vessel! You need to be sponsored by an active Sailor. Check out Tiger Cruise group for more information...

Lynn,


A Tiger cruise is the chance for family and friends to see up close what the US Navy does on a day to day basis. In our case, guests will observe at sea operations and an air power demonstration.

 

A "Tiger" is any relative or friend(but not girlfriend/boyfriend, fiancée or spouse) of a crew member or embarked personnel joining us for the transit.  It was established for family and friends to experience all facets of the shipboard life of their sponsor.

 

Only relatives and friends of crew members or embarked personal are eligible.  By Navy regulations, spouses, significant others, fiancés, fiancées, girlfriends and/or boyfriends are not eligible. 

Tigers must be a minimum of 12 years old on the day of embarkation and no older than 75. 

Family members and friends with the following medical conditions are excluded from Tiger Cruise participation.

 

      • Major surgery within the past 6 months.

      • Recent myocardial infraction or other severe cardiovascular disease.

      • Bone Fracture or other disability requiring cast, cane or crutches during embarkation.

      • Embarkation of pregnant females is prohibited.

      • History of severe motion sickness or claustrophobia.

      • Severe emphysema, COPD, asthma, or reactive airway disease.

      • Active communicable disease (tuberculosis/hepatitis).

      • Severe visual impairment.

      • Dependent on anti-coagulant medications.

      • Epilepsy.

      • Hemophilia.

Welcome aboard to NavyDads.com Lynn! When my son first enlisted, I was a little scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. What I found out was that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I found lots of answers to my questions right here on NavyDads.com.

My son Stephen was an AWO2 in the P-3 community. However, after 6 years of service, he was medically discharged in July of 2014. We are proud of our son and his service to our country.

Join us on Facebook as well!

Once again, welcome to our site and I hope you enjoy your stay here. GO NAVY! HOOYAH!

Best Regards- Jim

You don't exactly have the Tiger Cruise concept down...there are three cruises: Mayport to Norfolk if you are in the Atlantic fleet, Honolulu to San Diego and occasionally San Diego to Seattle as a continuation from Honolulu.

Welcome to NavyDads.com Lynn ! When my daughter enlisted in 2005 and left for RTC, I had virtually no knowledge of Navy life or how the Navy did things. By the time her PIR rolled around, I was starting to get the hang of things and understand some of the language and abbreviations, but still felt like a fish out of water when dealing with most topics concerning the US Navy. When my son enlisted and left for Great Lakes in 2007, I got serious about trying to learn as much as possible about the Navy. Now, several years into my journey, I’m blessed to say I have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM2) was on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), was attached to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 (HSM-37) in Hawaii, and is now attached to VAW-125 ("The Tigertails"). My daughter Kat is now a Navy veteran and was stationed on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) as a Mass Communications Specialist(MC3). If NavyDads.com were around in those early days, it would have made my first days as a Navy parent much easier!

I'm sure you'll find NavyDads.com as useful, educational and informative as I have over the past few years. Click How To Get Started for a guide on getting going in your NavyDads.com experience! I hope you take the time to explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. And Lynn this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how your son William is doing! Please remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors and the fleet in mind. On the right or starboard side of every NavyDads page is an area we call Key Information. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link for some guidelines as to what we should not talk about in a public forum like NavyDads.com.

Best Regards- Paul
