Mary, Proud Mom's Page

Thank you for the comment on my Shadow Box and for the sharing the story of your father.

its a rowing away process and she's living that to her fullest.... cant blame her really

we live close to base but she's doing that grow away thing and doesnt wanna go home, pissing mama off good!

I am an AEGIS FC as well. My first assignment was aboard USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) as an FCS/ORTS Technician. From there I spent 2 years working in a Detention facility at NAS Lemoore, CA. Upon completion of that rather unpleasant assignment I went back the Destroyer Navy taking 2 back to back Precomissioning assignments aboard USS MUSTIN (DDG 89) and USS SAMPSON (DDG 102) completeing AWS 'C' School in between. I am now serving as the LPO for Combat Systems 'A' Schools.

Mary, Proud Mom, Welcome Aboard!

My son is an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca. and my family and I couldn't be prouder of him. When he first enlisted I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to my son's future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. We have many moms on the site and benefit greatly from their point of views and we are willing to help the moms in any way we can. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your Sailor. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your sons journey in the Navy. Thank Nick for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.

Sincerely, EG

Welcome to NavyDads Mary ! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun, useful, and educational as I have. Explore the site 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 certainly 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 in the family - my son Eric (AM3) returned spring '09 from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) is about to complete her five-year enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Mary this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Nick is doing! We do ask that you remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors in mind at all times. On the right side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link and the NavyDads Guidelines link.
