Our son Phil called us late Friday afternoon to tell us he is a sailor now. Battle stations are over and all the fears of those horrid tales of what to expect at Battle Stations are a thing of the past. He enjoyed it and is very proud of his division for the great job that was done. ( Division 274) It was so good to talk to him on the phone and not be so worried about the time allotment. This has been the longest seven weeks we have spent. One more to go and we can see him, if only for a…

Our son Phil is also in Div 274 and we can't wait to see him. He said all he wants to do is go back to the hotel room and chill out. Sounds great to me. We also want to meet his shipmates parents & friends at the open house on 8-12. See you all there.

Your son is on a wonderful journey the next 8 weeks are going to be full of emotions for you with a wonderful ending that you could never be prepared for. Enjoy your PIR.
Play the following video for a brief introduction to NavyDads.com
As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Take a few minutes to read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos as they address many of your questions and concerns.
As PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your sailor's PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul
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 sons journey in the Navy. Thank Phillip for his service for me and for yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.
