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."

Sherrill my son began his ATT & AWAT classes in January and graduated from A school at the end of May and was on hold until July. He went in an ATI and graduated that way but when his orders came through for his duty station they changed to O. He graduated high in class so that wasn't the issue on the change I guess with the duty station he requested they must have needed Os more than ATIs. He is in WA state and just graduated C school 3 weeks ago.

Good Morning. Does anyone know where I can find a timeline/pipeline for ATO - My son switched fields and my husband and I are in the dark. I am just looking for timing on schools and the steps it takes to become ATO. Thanks. Any info would be much appreciated.

My son just arrived in Pensacola yesterday. He will be going to A school for Aviation Electronics Tech. Sounds like most of them get put on hold??
He has just moved in with a sailor that has been there for 3 weeks. Anyones sailor graduated 3 weeks ago?

Cindy-i'm still learning but from what i can understand about Paul's orders...this is EXACTLY what my son wants...think i am phrasing this correctly....i think he said "going squadron" is how he explained it to me. when he left here he said he wanted to go in that direction in Japan but now thinks Sicily would be great too....hmmm....i am thinking of something much much closer : ) and i hold a fondness in my heart for ol' GHWB!!!
