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."

Congrats on your "I am a sailor" call!  Congrats on your Nuke 'to be'.  I am also the proud mom of a Nuke MM, although mine has been in the fleet for a while now.  MM's go to A school for 3 months, then Power school for 6 months, then on to Prototype for another 6 months.  This does not include the 'waiting' to class up time, which he will most likely have, as they do not start a class without it being 'full'.  Always encourage him to do his best.  School will be difficult, but if he wants it he can get it.  Sometime later, some of the MM's will be asked to become ELT's and this will include additional training.  A and Power school are only in Goose Creek, SC...Prototype is in either Goose Creek or Ballston Spa, NY.  ELT school if I remember correctly is in Groton, CT.  If you have other questions, please feel free to ask.  My best to you and your new sailor.

Hey!  Please delete you post in the discussion where you disclosed the BattleStations date.  We are not allowed to post BattleStations dates on N4Moms---against OPSEC (RTC also asked us now to do this).  I have made note of it though since I'm keeping a schedule.  Thanks!  Just click on the "x" in the discussion group box to delete.
