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."

A handful of schools, Thomas Edison and Excelsior among them, are liberal in granting Nukes credit for the pipeline. When going into the Nuke filed post Navy ABET accreditation is important. Many colleges across the country have a hard time granting Nuke credit because the syllabus and course material are classified.
A Nuke is a Nuke. Those at a training command have seven day work weeks rotating around the clock. Seven days, seven afternoons, seven midnights, etc. Lee took two on line Calculus classes while in NY. The workload in the fleet is not much different.

Brady finished one crappy semester at community college. Which did not transfer to UofA. So he will be needing to take all three years. B has already spoken about when flight school is done starting to take his master classes. Which makes me very happy because I'm such a proponent of higher education. Jareem B's brother is a nuke and he only had 1 year of online classes from MIT to complete some sort of B.S. degree. They took all of his navy nuke classes. It must be the different rate or because his degree is a Science field.

Lee is a Business Major. Will Brady need three years to get his degree? Lee enlisted right out of high school. Four years in the Nuke pipeline is not conducive for continuing education, so Lee will probably take all three years to complete his degree.

Chris, Brady started on Monday. He has probably read over 100 pages this week and he hasn't even started his weekend home work. Brady is majoring in Finance and will also have to take a foreign language at some point. The PT times are at 5 here. But i think they change to 6 am during the cooler months. Brady asked his Battalion person if the ball was formal long or formal short dresses for women (obviously he asked the question for me) and was put on a committee for it. Oops!

Lee had his first day of class yesterday. He started at 4AM for PT with the Battalion. His goal is to get straight A's (lofty indeed). He is a Business major taking Chemistry and German.
