Since your recruit will be in the Nuclear Field, you will want to join NUKE moms and you may also want to check out Nuke School Charleston and Nuke A School FAQ. The Rating Information Card for NF can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/nukepower.pdf. Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend when the time comes.

Your Sailor may have Prototype in Ballston Spa, NY; if so, join Moms/Dads/Families with Nukes in Ballston Spa, NY at that time. Some stay in Charleston.

I see you have joined Cryptology ~ CTI ~ CTM ~ CTN ~ CTR ~ CTT ~; you may also want to check out cryptology at pensacola moms, Sailors at Corry Station holding or in school, Parents of A School Sailors in Pensacola, and Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!. (All of those groups are open groups, so be very careful if you choose to join and post there.)

Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR, but may fly out on Sunday due to flight availability issues. Plan to leave on Sunday if you are able. See PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.

Since CTR is one of the Spook ratings, the information within the Page, OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes To Your Profile), will be important for you.

There is more on "Spook" and more in What does ??? mean? (A Guide to Navy Abbreviations and Terminology).

Make at least change 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link).I suggest "Just My Friends" given your recruit's contract.

There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with you, your Sailor, or your recruit.

I also suggest changes 6 and 7.
