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."

@Christina, Diego bought one at the NEX and I would think that any of them would be fine. How are things going for you?
Comment by Christina (EM Nuke gf 1111M ) on January 21, 2011 at 12:40am
Hey all... Well my bf and I have an anniversary coming up next month and I am getting him a watch.. I just want to make sure that there isn't any watch rules I should know about as far as navy/nuke school goes..
Comment by Kelli_wife of JP on January 14, 2011 at 8:46am

Vallery, Thanks. We got New York for prototype. My husband is super excited. I'm nervous about the move and the roads to get there. He put down that we were doing the dity move. So we are going to start getting boxes and then I'll start packing.

I know that's all the time we'll have. My husband wants to be there a week early (at least) so we can unpack and kind of see where everything is.

my husband leaves for bootcamp march 8th, anybody else have their bfs/husbands leaving around the same time?
Comment by Kelli_wife of JP on January 12, 2011 at 8:53am

dolphin, thank you. I just hope they give us that much notice. They made them wait until after Christmas break to put in their dream sheet so i hope that doesn't mean we'll have to wait longer. My husband said it wouldn't have made a difference when they put it in, but it still makes me a little nervous.

Did your son decide to stay here or go to bs?

Comment by Kelli_wife of JP on January 11, 2011 at 9:07am
My husband is finishing up power school in Feb and he put New York down as his first pick for prototype. I'm not sure if we got it or when we will know but has anyone gone through that process? We have a 17 month old daughter and this waiting to find out stuff drives me crazy. My questions are;  how soon will we find out? should i start packing now, just in case? when would we have to be out of our current house after graduation. is it the same day or later?
