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."

I'm about a week ahead of you Whitney! Lee commissions 5/3...but flight school will have to wait a bit. Lee was awarded a Saratoga Leadership Fellowship from the John Jay Institute in Philadelphia. He'll go there for six weeks starting in June.

@TheRightThing. If you are on facebook I started a FB group called STA-21 Mom's. I am not on N4M's as much because I think FB is a lot easier to navigate. If you're interested in joining our small group we'd love to have you. My OC is just about to head off to NSI so it's really nice having seasoned people in the group.

MV......I think we have been in touch a while ago.....when our sailors were in their earlier stages. I haven't been too active on the site lately, but glad to see your name. My OC is also at NCSU...and I think he's good friends with your OC!

Glad to have found this group! My nuke in the STA-21 is attending North Carolina State University (NCSU), and he is pursuing an Electrical Engineering degree. He just started his third semester (began this past summer), so he has a bit of a way to go before graduation. Looking forward to sharing our journeys together!

One of my sons friends currently at the Citadel, set to graduate in May, was also picked up for aviation, even though he was a Nuke. That's what my son would have loved to get, but that's alight, he's just happy he got in. My son will do PS and Proto twice too. He got picked up right as he was finishing Prototype and starting Staff. Best of luck to your son too, it's exciting!

MichPad. He was an ET Nuke picked up at the end of his SPU tour. However, he was picked up for Aviation. So, he will be going to flight school next summer or fall. If he ever gets the opportunity to become an XO of a carrier, then he will be going back to Officer Power School and Prototype. Of course, that will be down the road a good bit. As you know, no one in the Nuke community escapes Power School or Prototype. Mustangs get to do it twice! Good luck to your son.

Chris, is he Nuke? If so, does he have to re-do PS and Proto?
