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."

Just checked the website again to get parking pass but it is still down. Has anyone had better luck? I really didn't expect it to be down more than a day.

Does anyone know if our sailors can bring a cell phone or/and computer to A school? I saw they were not allowed to bring one back when they come back after PIR celebration.

They CAN'T bring one back to RTC after PIR visit...BUT if you go to the airport with them (or meet them there) you can give it to them before they get on the plane to go to A school...This is what I understand to be the case. That's what I plan on doing. :)

Kathleen...I think you posted that your son said BS was the 17th/18th...so Sunday night thru Monday morning, right? My son wrote that "it's Monday". I saw where newnavywife said Monday, too. But I'm wondering if it *starts* Sunday night or starts *Monday* night. Just wondering which day I need to be looking for the phone call....
