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."

Any Nuke Mom's/Dad's out there from this year? ;-)

I was just wondering if any of you have son's/daughter's leaving right after boot camp to the Nuclear Power Training School in South Carolina? The only posts I find on this site are from 2013 and dating back as far as 2008. My son is going directly into the Nuke program right after his PIR on 11/14/14 and I was wondering if anyone else has the same situation? Thanks!!

My son is going to nuke school. Graduates 12/5/14 ship 13 div. 029. He says he is going to S.C. But there is a chance he will do A school in Great Lakes. He is not sure what to expect.

Hi Conedreill - if your son is going to nuke school then his A school will definitely be in SC. Also power school is in SC. Prototype can be in either SC or Ballston Spa, NY. Come on over to our nuke group - we have lots of info there and can answer any questions you may have!
