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."

Wow - what a nice truck! I definitely would need a step stool to crawl in there...LOL
My sailor has a Ford Bronco (old style) back home that sits almost that tall....if I crawl in there to ride then I need air plugs along the way due to the necessity of a boom box that will provide a thumping massage along the way to your destination :-)

Tchrmom, dont remember exactly what the accronyms stand for (atwt is advanced weapon tactical training i think) but both are pre requisites prior to actually starting A school. C school is calibration school some AT's go to after A school and others like my son go directly to the fleet depending on the needs of the Navy.

Hi there oh-experienced-ones!!! My son has his BC PIR on Feb 18th. Arrived in Pensacola this past week. He's not one for offering information, and since he left for RTC I have been one step ahead of him in knowing what's going on because of this wonderful website!! I have read oh, 30 something pages of this group, but have questions. What do ATT, ATWT, I Strand mean? What does C school stand for? My son is AT, mentioned ATO. I'll be a regular around here! THANKS!!
