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."

Nuke school in Goose Creek
I have chatted with a few of you with children going on to Goose Creek for NUKE school. I figured that since we will be following each other around for awhile we could get to know each other here first.

Awesome! What state are you moving from? We are moving from CA so I think he may not class up with people he knows from BC, which would be a bummer. I'll certainly try to keep people informed as much as I can once in GC though!

We are moving from Illinois, but dang California thats a loooong haul! Sometimes they have a few weeks until A school starts after they graduate, so we'll hope! I have actually started talking to another wife that I found on here. Her husband is graduating June 8th, so she'll be arriving and living on base shortly after us!

Queenjailyle--thanks for thinking of this! You're right, we'll have about 20+ months of this after all the schools and boot camp, and in downtime in between schools!
Ashers99--that's exciting that you'll be moving on base! We'll be hittting you up for all the news when they are there! :)

My son will be going there, and I'm sure during that time I will be visiting at least once or twice. So to the nuke wives, we can get together for lunch and sightseeing!

Have any of your SRs called home to get more information for his/her security clearance?

not mine...but some of the others that are in the same ship/div as my SR have called for more information.

Just curious if anyone has found out their SR's Nuke rates yet? My husband said the div 165/166 were posted by as of the middle of last week they hadn't sent a runner to go get them so he wasn't sure.
