OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Any advice I can give my son who is in A school at Goose Creek? I'm a little worried. Would like to talk to some nuke moms out there.

Good Morning - John posted the link below to the nuke moms site - you will find pretty much any info you need there. We are one of the more active groups on this site and we are sharing info every day. In addition there are "discussion forums" on the site that list all sorts of valuable info....There is also another group "Nuke School Charleston" - it's not as active as nuke moms but still has good info. Feel free to jump in on the site and ask questions! We are all here for each other ;-)

I'm not a Nuke mom, I'm a Nuke wife, and I've been with my husband since he started his Navy journey 4 years ago. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have or calm any nerves of yours. Feel free to send me a friend request or a message if you'd like to chat!

Hi proudmomofsteven. My son started nuke school in Oct. He graduates from A school in Feb. What I can tell you is that it's very challenging. They pile on the work. Everyone has mandatory study hours. Give your son a lot of support and encouragement. He most likely will need it.

Thanks for your reply.

The Nuke Moms group is probably the best place to ask "technical" question because the are a number of members/dads who were nukes themselves - I seldom see them responding to question in the N4M FORUM discussions. Of course, by posting here you make members aware of the various groups related to the nuke community. So - thank you. My son was a nuke officer on a sub. Good luck to all.

My son starts power school on April 7. When he first got to GC he was other 2-3 weeks before A school started. Good luck to your son.
