OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

After only 2 weeks in holding, my IT daughter has classed up to Bravo in Pensacola and will start on Tuesday! The classes are from 15:00 to midnight, I believe. Does anyone have any tips on studying/sleeping/relaxing on this schedule and is it for the entire duration of A school? I can't believe she'd have to live with this schedule the whole time!

Vikiboo, I love your nailbiting story, makes me wonder what they're teaching mine that I couldn't.

Hello All,
My girl has made it in BC for almost 3 weeks, her PIR is 5/3 (hope and praying)! Then she goes Nuke. I'm really not sure what to expect once she gets there. She's a tough kid. We got her first letter yesterday. She informed me that the Navy taught her something I never could, She stopped biting her fingernails!! What a feat. Our Sailors are amazing!!

Hi Pat!
My daughter will also be IT. She is in Pensacola A school now. I was wondering, after they receive their first 3 year assignment to a shore duty--my daughter requested Hawaii or San Diego--do they get assigned to a ship next and for how long? She signed up for 4 years.

Friends,
"As for God, His way is perfect,
the Word of the Lord is flawless.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him."
