As far as safety when jumping in the ocean: On the last deployment there was a story about a sailor who was working on a jet, that accidentally fell in the ocean. They made a point of stressing that his rescue and what he did, were by the book, so...

As in anything in the Navy, I'm sure there are rules and procedures for anything, and those who are affected by something hopefully would research what is required. I feel confident our son left with a good head on his shoulders, and I've learned ...

Something my son learned in regards to reenlisting. If they're on a ship that goes in a war zone, reenlist there if a signing bonus is given, because it's tax free in the war zone. Just info I've learned, may not apply here at all.

We went with our son, and never got the feeling by anyone in the Navy that we were not wanted there. He was in the DEPS program his senior year in high school, wasn't 18 until the end of DEPS, and high school. We even went to MEPS, and were includ...

Hi and thanks for this group! My son is on the USS Ronald Reagan, as a nuke. I hope it's ok to call him that, without his usual "I'd tell ya Mom, but then I'd have to kill you" This is his second deployment

I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Needed to learn more about it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
The above response didn't have my 'thought of Vietnam" answer, and now feel as parents we were included as much as we could be in the whole process. The most importatnt thing is I learned that things have changed from the was the guys were treated in the 70's
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
The lessons learned in the Navy could have been learned anywhere.
