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."

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on May 28, 2014 at 10:41pm: I am headed out there end on July for power school graduationl

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on May 28, 2014 at 8:38pm: USAA insurance for sure It is military or retired military or children of retired USAA members. My son's is at least $100 less a month for him.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 28, 2014 at 6:18pm: I agree with USAA for insurance. Our sailor pays more than when he was on our policy but still better than some of the other companies. He also has renters insurance through them. They have quite a number of services that they offer to military personnel.

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on May 28, 2014 at 5:00pm: Hey, tina41, long time no hear from! Hope all is well w/ you and your sailor!

8isenuff, USAA is great for the military. Have him check them out.

Comment by 8isenuff (ET & MM) on May 28, 2014 at 4:49pm: Hello philly_mamsota and Gatormom, you will find good company here!

Our son is looking for car insurance while at GC that won't break his bank. The quotes he is getting are about double what he paid while at home. :-( Does anyone have any suggestions on a good place to look for insurance? I believe he has looked into Nationwide and National General. He drives a 1999 Camaro, if that helps.

We had a chance to talk to both of our nukes on Monday, through Google hangouts. Their little sisters and one of their big brothers got to join in, so it was fun. It seems like they enjoyed their day off, and they got to spend a little time with each other, too. We also went to our local Memorial Day parade and ceremony. It was very nice, as always.

Comment by tina41 on May 28, 2014 at 4:42pm: hello all!!

my son finished nuke school. i just want to say hello and hope everyones sailor is doing good!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 28, 2014 at 11:40am: Welcome philly_mamasota and Gatormom!

Mommamac - so glad they had a good time in the city! I know B is looking forward to seeing the city as he hasn't been yet. I think he said they are going 4th of July weekend (if all goes as planned!). Should be a lot going on then.....He said to send his brother out the 2nd weekend in August so I've got to start planning that! I'm glad they will be able to spend some time together....

Happy Wednesday!

Comment by Gatormom on May 28, 2014 at 6:30am: I, too, just joined. Don't know our son's class number but he starts OCS for NUPOC on June 8 in Newport.

Comment by Mommamac MM(CVN77) on May 28, 2014 at 5:29am: B'snukemom - I also talked to Our son last night. Said the bunch with him had a blast in the city. He has a few friends from UF that live in the city so they all met up. Saw the new 9/11 memorial and other special locations. He said that the new building was really nice and brought back so many memory's. Made them feel very proud to be serving in the Navy. He missed having your son with him though. Said they were so glad to be a part of Fleet Week but I think he needed a day to rest up, he had a very long day on Tuesday. Hope your you get son can get over to his brother.
