Navy,
I wouldn't worry about it. Your dad said it, not you. You can always play it off. Your parents love you and they want to see you happy. I wouldn't give it any more thought unless your W brings it up. Then, just play it off as your dad looking out for the two of you.

BITS never walk alone!

So you can get on with your search, baby
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find,
That it wasn't really wasted time...
