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."

They do get charged for leave. Although their classes may not be in session, they will find other duties for them to do until class begins again.

Regarding internal views of rooms: On the Pensacola base website you can tour their dorm rooms. Here is the web site
http://www.naspensacola.navy.mil/images/NATTC%20PICS%20-%202.pdf this only represents the dorms in Pensacola but perhaps if you go to your sailors base's web site they may have some pictures of some of the dorms. I was also able to read the phases that Pensacola Sailors have duirng their schools: here is the web site for Pensacola's hand book http://www.naspensacola.navy.mil/files/nattcnavystudenthandbook.pdf. Again this is for Pensacola and I am not sure that all bases have the same format for Phases.

I have not heard any complaints from sailors regarding their A school housing...perhaps they are so delighted to lose 60-70 roommates and that it feels like a country club!

Carol, congrats on the cerom. guard duty - what an honor!

Ellen, it sounds like everything is going GREAT for Jim!!! Our son will be at GL for school for nine months, I suspect whereever he heads for C school will be great as well! Hoping that he is out of there before the snow storms begin again!

Our son did receive liberty on the weekends during SCC in GL. I believe he had to be with a buddy at all times though.
