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."

Hello tmasters-- Welcome to the group!! A few guesses, Norfolk, Florida, San Diego, or even Japan. Where ever they need him! He will get his verbals when he is two weeks from his finish school date. If that makes any sense? hee hee
Good luck to him and tell him to do well he will be rewarded.

Hi Everyone- Just joined here, my son just had PIR 7/1 and is moving to GL for A School today as an EN. School starts 7/20-9/29. Any idea of the most likely place to be stationed from there?

thank you Rhonda. Good luck to your son, San Diego will be a nice place to be. Does anyone here have a sailor in GSE? suppose to be 3 months school there too, but looks my daughter said there is a lot of hold time, and it turns out to be 6 or 7 months.
Kyles proud mom, Im sure it will work out for your son. he may end up really liking it. And your right this is the Navy and what they say goes...LOL

My son just got his orders and looks like sunny San Diego for him. He will be on the USS Rentz, does anyone have a sailor on that ship? I know where our next vacation will be. :)

Kyle's mom- my son had schooling for three months and has been in GL for 7 months! Alot of holding time for him. Is your son going to be an EM? Mine loves the job, he really enjoys what they do. We just spent the long weekend with him and brought him back Monday nite. It was nice to be able to spend time with him. He's waiting for his orders now. He really wants to get out of there. When he gets his orders he will come home on leave for 8 days and fly out of Green Bay to his next command. Good luck to your son!
