Jamie Daniels's Page

Jamie my name is Gary and my son Nicholas is on Ship 14 Division 115 His scheduled PIR is 03/13/09. I want to welcome you aboard this great organization. May your son enjoy his future in the NAVY and please accept my thanks for his service.

Hello Jamie, my son Matthew is expecting PIR on 03/13/2009. Have you been getting mail on a regular basis? Matt said he did not recieve any letters as of 1/25 and we have been writing him everyday.

My son Michael left Eugene OR on the 13 for GL. He is on Ship 14 div 119. I assume you know this much by now. I too am new at this and am trying to educate myself. His mother joined Navy moms and they talk lots more than the guys here. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Welcome to NavyDads Jamie! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun and useful as I have. Explore and make some friends, add your comments to a discussion or two, read the postings in the various groups-- even start one or two. I have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...ask! I'm sure someone here will have the answer or can point you in the right direction to find out. I'm lucky enough to have two sailors- my son Eric is on the second half of a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Jamie this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Greg is doing!

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. Thanks to one of our members we have two excellent videos that you can access from the Video area on the NavyDads.com main page: New Bootcamp 1 of 2 and New Bootcamp 2 of 2. These videos will answer many of your questions and concerns and will give you a better understanding of how the United States Navy transforms our children into sailors!

Be sure to spend some time in the Bootcamp group- there are many questions and answers available to help you understand what your sailor is going through. And 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
