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."

Hi everyone, my son is in 359 and is also going to Nuke school after BC. He is also my first to leave home, and his next youngest brother is leaving for college at the end of the month, so I'm getting hit with both at once! Looking forward to getting to know everyone over the next few weeks

Oh...I am so sorry...for you to have to deal with 2 sons leaving in such a short period of time. That must be very difficult. Hopefully our sons will become friends during BC and that friendship can continue on into A school. What state are you from?

Got a call from my son yesterday. He mentioned another Nuke who sleeps in the bunk next to him who is from Mass. I think he mentioned his last name...Murphy, I believe (or it might have been Johnson). My SR mentioned both names but in my excitement I cannot remember who he said had what rating. Did you receive your phone call yet?

The one next to him from Mass is mine :) He mentioned it too - I think maybe they were close to each other when they were on the phone because in the middle of the call he asked me if I was in touch on line with a mom from Wisconsin and they were amused that within such a big group their moms had connected!

That is really neat! Hopefully our two boys are getting a chance to get to know one another. I think the whole BC experience is easier to get through if connections can be made among the recruits.
