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."

M's Mom,
The Navy actually flew her out to California to visit one of the Nuke ships. She was actually in the Nuke program. When she got there they made her attend the tour and then decided to tell her they didn't want her. No reasons why! That's the Navy! She called crying, something in her transcript from ST. Louis University. She carried a 3.8 GPA. So the Engineering program pick her up right away. No interviews like the Nuke Program. I guess they didn't see it as a mistake and it was their gain. The Navy told her this dosent happen this way getting in without interviews etc. she must be special.

Oh she's making a career of it. I believe the program is 2 years. I cannot wait to read her dissertation.

Noni: How long will your daughter study at MIT before she goes to Charleston? (I'm assuming she's going to remain in the Navy?)

Welcome - my son will be leaving for Charleston in early July also! Exciting times for our boys!

Thank you! My son leaves for Charleston in September. Trying to learn everything I can!

Welcome, submom ! Will your son be going to Charleston? There is a group here on N4M's called "NUPOC MOMS." They could answer your questions about nuclear power school. Congratulations to your new Ensign. Now the real adventure begins!

USNmom2017: I have no knowledge of P'cola, but if you join the group "Naval Aviation" here on N4M's, most of those moms have flyers who have rotated through there, and they could probably answer you.

Hi! New to the group. My son is newly commissioned and I am anxious to learn what I can! He will be going to Nuke school soon.
