OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
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."

My son is one of the lucky ones! : ) ----a nuke, for those who have done this, do they start at NSI at different times? If so, what has been the earliest start date? And then so they begin at their University in the summer semester?
Congrats to all!

MiaB, I saw it on Airwarriors.com - check out this thread: http://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/fy12-sta-21-...
from what I understand it really should come from their command though. My son saw it first on that site and then the info was deleted about an hour later. He got the official word the next day.

My wife is 33 an will turn 34 in one month. She is getting her package together for next June. My question is most programs require to be commissioned prior to 35. She is about 60 credits away from her b.a. Do they make exceptions since she will not by commissioned by 35? She is an AM. Is there any particular program that she would have the best shot if accepted? No more Chaplain program neither? A lot of questions but any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
