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."

Son to GL 10/8/14
Son left to GL on 10/8/14. I know this has been his dream since he was little but I sure do miss him. He was supposed to leave to go on a hunting trip that day. They moved his ship date up. He was ready to go. I'm glad because at least the weather won't be quite as cold in October. Does any one else have SR that shipped then in the NUKE program?

Hi nathansmom,
I had both a son and a daughter ship to GL on 10-16-13. Both are in the nuke program, and are currently in Power School. You will find a wealth of information on this site, and also the Nuke Moms group, if you haven't joined that one already. As far as the weather, it will likely be nice for a while, but I wouldn't bank on anything. Last year's PIR (12-13-13) was bitter cold, even for Chicago. Not too worry, however; they bundle those kids up like they live in Outer Siberia. The sailors from the northern states complain because they are too hot with all of the layers, and the sailors from the warmer locations are freezing...lol. Fair winds and following seas to you and your sailor...
