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 would assume that they would be. Being girls I think they have a better chance being in the same division as there are not as many girls as guys but we will find out eventually.
I got my box today, everything was in it like I expected but they left out my daughter(LOL)

My son shipped out on Nov 9 for RTC and I am missing him so much! I have not received his box yet nor do I have an address or grad date yet. He wasn't supposed to leave until April 12 but a slot opened up in Nuke school so off he went. I am so full of emotion (pride, sadness, happiness, fear) I'm sure you all know how I am feeling. I was a single Mom for 14 years and it was just him and I so needless to say I am freaking out. Any advice?? Does anyone else have a Nuke that shipped on or around the 9th of this year?
Thanks and God Bless

Hi my daughter left Nov 8th and will be a Nuke. I just got her box yesterday and her address today. They will probably be in the same Nuke school in SC. You will get your box very soon and it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. One day at a time

I have a question...we received the box today but there was no "form letter"...will that come in the mail? or should it have been in the box? I feel so disconnected.

@USSMom....So far everything I have read says you get the box first and then the form letter anytime between 1 and 3 weeks. Hang in there! Just sent mine off in the plane today...*sniff*.
