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."

Comment by MoMom on October 3, 2018 at 12:44am: NNLori-

I don’t have much information; my son is not much of a communicator. I can tell you that he and one of his roommates moved off base before they finished power school. Wish I could give you more information!

Comment by SubMom on October 2, 2018 at 7:59pm: NNLori - I'm with you - I have so many thoughts rattling around in my head about my sailor moving off base.

B'sNukeMoM- have a great time in FL!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on October 2, 2018 at 6:36pm: Heading out to FL tomorrow - I'll do my best to check in. You all behave!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on October 2, 2018 at 3:40pm: Welcome to our newest member ~ daisysdca! Please be sure to read the ***NEW MEMBERS*** info at the top of the page. And of course, feel free to ask any questions you may have!

Comment by NNLori on October 2, 2018 at 3:05pm: If there is anyone who has recently been through the transition from Power School to Prototype I would love to see a new topic to the right of this page talking about finding housing and perhaps purchasing a vehicle. Any info about how much time before graduation should this be arranged and recommended apartment complexes would be awesome. I see a lot of great information about what they do during Prototype but not the process of moving off base and what kind of help they get or when it actually has to happen. All those graduating Power School in December are staying in GC so there will be a lot more people looking for housing this time around. Do they move while still in Power School? Or do they do it the day they graduate? I have a lot of questions knocking around in my over active brain. Any help is greatly appreciated. :))

Comment by Jana on October 2, 2018 at 2:41pm: My Daughter turned it down as well.

Comment by NNLori on October 2, 2018 at 2:36pm: Oh my goodness KayCee, what a scary thing to have happen. I'm so grateful you weren't hurt. What a crazy experience.

Happy Birthday COTwin hope you had a great day!!!

We have a friend who was on a Sub and my husband took my son over to talk to him before he left for boot camp to a realistic idea of what it would be like to live on one. After their conversation as they were leaving and waking out the door my son looked at my husband and said, "yea, I'm not doing that!" Special kind of person to be able to live in that environment. Definitely not for everyone. :))

Comment by SubMom on October 2, 2018 at 1:10pm: KayCee - I am so glad you are safe! Very smart thinking to grab his hat. Hope the police can apprehend him soon!!!

Chipmunk - I hope your estate sale is going well. Once it is done you need to treat yourself to some R&R :)

JayDee659 - I was cracking up about your pets and the window. That sounds like something from our household!!

COTwin - happy belated birthday!!!

B'sNukeMoM - you hit the nail on the head about Monday - I am thinking that Monday's should be banned :)

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on October 2, 2018 at 11:09am: Welcome Annie Lee to the Nuke moms group! Please be sure to read the ***NEW MEMBERS*** info at the top of the page. And the Discussion Forum will give you lots of good info too (be sure to hit "view all"). The "prototype housing" discussion has lots of places listed for rent in GC. Hopefully you can find something that will work!
