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."

marine_navy....so if it wasn't for the stand-down Mommy's girl would start A school right after AWAT....that's pretty cool. she'll get a nice break and then be ready for 'business' after the stand-down!!!

thanks Mommy!!! i am even hoping he gets one of those early "startling wake-ups" and told to GET MOVIN' wednesday morning !!!

Mommy-your girl finished on the 18th and David finished on the 23rd and that's why i thought they would start AWAT about the same time. on Monday after Thanksgiving he was told about the two classes starting up but unlikely he would be in either one because so many are ahead of him. the next class will start on the 15th and we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Matt's date to start C school was the actual date. He had to report to his duty station before C school started but when the date came up he started classes and they also have a date that they will finish classes on their orders. When they come home on leave before reporting to their duty station they have all of their paperwork from BC to that point and I took it to work with me and photocopied everything just so we would have a copy if we ever needed it and something has already come up that he was able to call me and I mailed a copy of a certain section to him that way things got straightened out a lot quicker. Just an idea.

Chris heading to mississippi today to study calibration till May 2011. Anyone know of a keesler airforce base site or are we all on here

Yes MommyHunt that is right. They can pass the test but not be promoted. I am not sure how they make the selection on who gets promoted out of the (whatever) number that passes. Apparantly ATs do not advance at a very fast pace because they do not have many openings that come up.
