Do you need it to advance to some level in your company you want to get to? One of the biggest mistakes you can make is getting a degree just for the heck of it. Now if you went and got your MBA it wouldn't really be a negative except for the time, money, and effort you have to put into it. Your dad is probably a pretty smart man judging from the position he holds, so I would give some weight to his opinion. I also think he is dead on. If your industry doesn't require MBA's then more weight will definitely be put on experience and results.
But if you do decide to go ahead and get one, have you considered online programs? I know that Florida State and University of Florida (pretty good business schools) both offer online MBA programs. That would let you stay in your current location and work at the same time.
