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."

Recruit Petty Officer Positions within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will give you info about Starboard Watch Section Leader (SWSL). Join that group while you are there and check out the other Pages (found under the pictures of the members) as well. You may also want to check out Women in the Navy, Mom’s of Navy Daughters, and Mom's of Daughters 2. I see you have joined Nuke A School FAQ; you may also want to check out NUKE moms, Loved Ones in the Nuke Program!, Nuke's Moms/Wives/Girlfriends/Friends, and Nuke School Charleston. The Rating Information Card for the Nuclear Field can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/nukepower.pdf.
I think that is everything I had before and maybe more.
(Group names are clickable links.)

Awesome. Thank you so much. I'm trying to figure out how to get around this site and I feel so desperately incompetent and it makes me anxious because I am afraid I will NOT know to get the information I need to know to ask my SR so that I may learn to follow her more closely through this site:(
I know asked her to put the calendar date and DOT on her next letter to me and to include when her BTS21 will be.

You are very welcome. See, you are learning already. There is lots of info for you in your PIR group and in the Pages within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones).

I spoke to my daughter:) On Thursday May 30th she told me her calendar date was 2-5. Now that I have that date, how is it that I can follow what she is doing on this website??? I remember reading on a forum perhaps, that we could find out by PM ing her?

If Thursday was 2-5 DOT, then Friday was 3-1 DOT. http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433 will give you a day by day. That link and others are within Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and will let you know what is happening.

Thank you Lady Hamilton. Do you know where there's more updated information where I could follow her daily schedule?
-

There are several links within Arrival and What Happens at the RTC that give what happens each week, but no one has posted a more recent day by day that I am aware of and yes, I do realize that it is a few year's old. The info does still give a general idea of what takes place. The best way to know when something will happen for your recruit is to ask her. She will have a copy of the Master Training Schedule for her division and can tell you when things are going to happen. You'll want to ask her at least about about the DOT for Marlinespike, pictures, and Battle Stations-21.
