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 saw your post on the MM page, and noticed that you were not on the sub page...wanted to suggest that you look into the sub group page. It is one of the larger groups and has a lot of information located on the page.

My husband's sister and brother in law were able to go to the graduation today.  They said it was really nice.  I just don't understand the Navy.  Why keep punishing the class when the SR that caused the problem was set back to the beginning.  Plus quite a few of the sailors are on their way to their base.  If you are staying on at Groton you don't get priveleges again until Tuesday? My SR is in STS- Sonar.  Their BESS coin, I thought looked neat.  Never had anything like that in the Air Force.

Sorry it took a while to get back to you on this one...had to do a little research since I was not familiar with the non-Nuke track for MM.

Is a good place to start for info if he is definately going subs.  Training will be in Groton, CT.

http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjob1/a/mm.htm

Is a good place to start for info if he is not going subs.  Training will be @ GL.

If he is too old for Nuke, then his MM training I believe is at GL.  Since mine is a Nuke, all of his training was in South Carolina.  Has he volunteered for sub and is this a part of his 'contract'?

My son is also an MM...I was reading your question on the MM page in ref to C school.

Is he going in as a Nuke MM or an MM?  I saw where he has volunteered for sub?  If he is sub, then he will be attending school in Groton, CT if he is not Nuke.  If he is Nuke, then he will not be at GL or Groton for school, but will go directly to Goose Creek, SC.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
