OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Well ladies, this is our sailor's last week of T-Track!
I know Aaron is soaking up every minute of freedom he can!
This crazy roller coaster ride we're all on is about to take an even crazier turn! -

I'm so looking forward to Jacob being able to feel like he's doing something productive but not looking forward to the times of wondering if he ever gets to see daylight outside of the school building. And just excited to get this journey moving faster!

I know what you girls mean! Ben is so tired of cleaning but hates the thought of more school! His girlfriend keeps telling him to keep at it and that he is the one that signed up for this so suck it up!!! I know I'm not looking forward for the next phase because from what I read it will be very, very hard!!!

hahaha. I feel like I used to tell Aaron that all the time. Well, I wasn't the one that signed up for it. :)
JLD- You should tell his girlfriend to join Navyformoms or check out the Nuke Girlfriends/Wives group on Facebook. :) -

Before I confirm any flight plans, wanted to make sure this was correct: Jordon said that I should go ahead and book Dec 18, arriving back I believe Jan 2? Can any of you verify???
Hope everyone is doing fine. Jordons looking forward to this phase, as he said the teachers were all ensigns, a little different than the chiefs that taught A school. He's very positive, which is nice to see, as he really struggled through A school. The boy never had to study a day in his life, so A school kicked his rear! LOL -

As far as I know, that sounds correct!

Mine told me too book Dec. 17 thru Dec 27. He disagreed with me on the negative leave said the only reason you could go negative was for grad hold. I told him I would wait until classes started next week and see if it changes.

I know there was rumors going around that they would only get a week leave instead of the whole two weeks... They were cleared up for Aaron a day or so ago. They'll all be classed up, so they get the whole two weeks.
Aaron has said he can go into the hole. Who knows..
Waiting might be a good option though. :) -

Hello aarongsgirl11, It's been awhile since we chatted. Nate was to start Power school today but now it's Thurdsay. I don't know yet what class. He hasn't said. I don't think he knew yet when we talked to him Sunday. He is ready to get started and get through this next school. He is planning on taking the train home Thanksgiving and Christmas. For the ones who have started power school, they are able to take the whole 2 weeks off. The ones who havent started get the first part or the 2nd half of Christmas break off. At least that's what Nate said. It could have changed since then.

Hey Colleen! They'll all start briefs on Thursday, and actual classes will start on Monday. For now they're still technically T-Trackers. :)
I know Aaron is NOT looking forward to doing Power School, but the sooner it starts, the sooner it's over... right?
I'm trying to prepare myself to be patient and understand... If our relationship hasn't been through enough already, we're about to take a crazy ride. :)
I think Aaron is planning on driving home for Christmas. I'll be headed down there for Thanksgiving! I can't wait! -
