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."

My sailor is not in A school yet, but will be in mid May. He asked me to find out any possible information to let him know what to expect when he gets there. He will be a Seabee BU and be attending school in Gulfport, MS

Tamra, I just asked my daughter about the 'A' school situation. If they failed 3 test, then they have to do the ARB (Review Board). She forgot what the 'A' stands for. They will give them another chance to pass the test again. If they failed again, then their rate will fall to a cook or a painter. they will not be kick out. But don't worry. Your son will pass. Ask him to join a group studies. Wish him luck..

Tamra, I'm not sure. maybe they can work with him more. My son just started a school. He says so far it has all been on computers. I was kind of worried about his class room studies also. I hope they can do something to help him.

I am scared for him about this board thing. he is just not doing well in school, he has always hated school . anyone know what happens next ?
