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."

He will have to return to the RTC or TSC each night. Where will his A School be and/or what will his rating (job) be? See the RTC's Family Guide for more information.
If you know his PIR date, go to http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/groups-listed-by-pir-date and join the group for that. Other groups that may be of interest to you are Boot Camp Girlfriends, Boot Camp Mom's, PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here.

He will have Liberty from about 10:30 am until evening (around 8 or 9 depending on the RDC). He will know what time Liberty expires and will have to be back in time to walk to his ship. We say to drop him off at least 30 minutes before Liberty expires.
He will know his flight arrangements and will most likely fly out on Saturday. You can meet him at the airport and give him his cell phone, laptop, and other things he requests to put in his black backpack.
A School is in Goose Creek (Charleston), SC at Naval Weapons Station Charleston. Here are some groups to check out and then you can join the ones that will fit your needs: Nuke School Charleston, NUKE moms, Nuke Wives, and Loved Ones in the Nuke Program!.
