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."

You may also want to check out Nuke School Charleston and Nuke A School FAQ.

The Rating Information Card for NF can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/nukepower.pdf

Your Sailor may have Prototype in Ballston Spa, NY; if so, join Moms/Dads/Families with Nukes in Ballston Spa, NY at that time. Some stay in Charleston.

It's not a good idea to post a pic of your Sailor every time you post. See change 4 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link). Also make change 3 while you are there. There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes. Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP code to one that is not easily associated with your Sailor.

Hi there - I know you will be heading to Chicago tomorrow.  Just want to wish you safe travels!  Dress warm and have a great time at PIR!  Enjoy the time with your Sailor and make sure you get extra hugs!  I look forward to getting together with you on the 21st.....

I'm so glad to hear that you will be at the meet and greet and thank you for your positive thoughts. My son told my mother in law that his flight leaves at 7 am Sat. I wonder if they are on the same flight. See you on Thursday and safe travels.

RhondaK. So on my way to a salon this morning at 9:30 and missed his phone. I was ready to cry. He did call my mother in law and spoke to her for 20 min and said he would be flying out Sat morning to Pensacola, I'm so trying not to cry because I thought we would get him most of Sat. How many hours after grad can we see him? Does anyone know? Trying to stay positive. So sorry you will not make the meet and greet.

Hi Rhonda - I sent you a PM.  I would still like to get together with you sometime if we can make our schedules work!  Glad to see things are going well so far for your SR ;-)

Since your son is interested in the Academy you should have him look into the STA-21 Program.  (Seaman to Admiral, 21st century).  You should be able to google it & get some good info.  I think there might even be a group on here for it (don't know how active it is, but it should have some info on how they go about applying for it).  I think if he went that route he would start nuke school & then if he is accepted into the STA-21 program he goes to college to get his degree & then he would go back & do the nuke program again (Power school & Prototype) from the officer side.
