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."

It is a five night special about a US Navy carrier ship - check your local tv guide, it's been showing on PBS channel at 8 or 9 pm. It started on Sunday and runs 2 hrs each night. If you son is heading to a carrier - you definitely want to try to catch it.
A and C school? What rate is Trae? -

He was starting classes yesterday. It is a two week long class but I think it was running from 3 pm to 11:30. I don't have all the details as I've been out of town but he told my husband yesterday that he had to report at 3 pm to do the paperwork for the class and was told he would be there for a few hours and then he thought it was actually starting today. Hoping to hear an update. Do you know which class John is in and is it two weeks long or?

I don't know yet, I cound not talk to him very long I was at work and on a dead line to get somethings done. He is suppose to call me today,since I am off today. I do know that this class has FC's and ET's in it. John had gotten changed from fc to et and the petty officer in front of the class asked him if his dad was an admiral or something. John said no he is a chief and he knows a lot of people still.(I guess that john knows dad can keep watch on him all the way out there, not a bad thing)

I'm hoping for a call today too. He told his dad it was a basic seamanship course and would be in the evenings. Sadly I'm flying into Chicago for a business meeting on Monday and was hoping to take him to dinner or something but it sounds like by the time my flight lands - his classes will be starting! Unless ...I meet him at midnight or something silly like that.
Hey - having a dad that can keep he eye on them is not a bad thing! I think the recruiters handled Nick better than an average due to my husband's Navy background. Let's just say - he knew what questions to ask where many folks just don't. -

It's nice to be learning this all together! Our son will be an FC and he will also have A and C school but just started class yesterday so he has alot of classes to go yet.
