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."

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on January 29, 2011 at 1:49am: poet: from what I understand after week 4 of training at A School, they have off post liberty and such, so that might be a good time to do it, but its only on the weekends. After week 8 if I am reading right they have liberty after they get off classes for the day. So that is a totally good option.

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on January 29, 2011 at 1:49am: After he gets down there, you can go get married whenever you'd like. He just has to get it approved.. I'd say within a month you could be married. That's just my estimate, though. Then as soon as he gets paper work done for his page 2 and housing, you could move in. :)

Comment by poeticfeet6 (Ship 07 DIV 104) on January 29, 2011 at 1:46am: Well we aren't married that's why I was asking. We want to get married as soon as possible because we have a lil girl and he wants to be able to see her. But we have no idea how or when we can get married.

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on January 29, 2011 at 1:42am: yes, poeticfeet6, it is true. They will either leave the weekend of bootcamp graduation, or a few days after. All depends on what the Navy wants..

They'll go straight down to GC and start indoc. If you're married to a nuke (just guessing by the picture), this is the time that he'll get all of the housing stuff figured out for you guys. If not, he'll just go through the regular briefs, and start classes for A school... Most of the time that's the following week. If you're married and are doing a DITY move (do it yourself), he'll be allowed to come back to get you and any other dependents and help move you out there once he has the housing set up. :) He'll start A school classes a week later, but isn't a big deal. A lot of guys do that. :)

Comment by poeticfeet6 (Ship 07 DIV 104) on January 29, 2011 at 1:41am: Well do you know anything about Div 104 ... he graduates march 18th

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on January 29, 2011 at 1:39am: poeticfeet: It all depends on which division your SR is in, which is his PIR, plus each SR is different. I understand from what I have been able to tell on here, the PIR for 3-11-11, all of the Nukes will be Grad n Go. But my son has not confirmed that.

Comment by poeticfeet6 (Ship 07 DIV 104) on January 29, 2011 at 1:28am: I was just wondering, is it true that they go from bootcamp straight to a school for the nuke classes?

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on January 29, 2011 at 12:57am: Cool, and I think her folks are going to let her go to his PIR with us, which is cool. It will mean she misses 2 days of school. But PIR is for my son, and I will try to do everything in my power to see that the 4 people he wants in those bleacher get to GL. It may mean no eating out for the whole of his BC but if that it what it takes, it is what it takes.

But I want to always allow her, her space, so I don't want to be a nag LOL.

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on January 29, 2011 at 12:52am: You'd be amazed how much the little things mean to her. I know I was always super excited to talk to his mom whenever she was online. :)

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on January 29, 2011 at 12:42am: arrons I sure hope so, since she is so shy she is kind of hard to talk to, but I am working on that. We have talked on the phone 2 times since he has been gone but mostly just about what was said in the letters we go so we both feel like each is knowing everything. I am trying to arrange a time for she and I to go to dinner with a few of their mutual friends, that way people can keep up with what is going on with my son.

She also is an avid reader, and she don't get to go to the book store as much as she would like so I figured I could take her and we could go grab a snack or dinner after. I feel like that will help her be connected in some way with my son.

My husband finds it strange that I am not more upset about the Prom thing, I told him if it works for them, then it works for me.
