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."

wow lots of activity here, My son is an EN ( enginemen)...The gas turbine engines are the ones is does NOT work on, that's where the GSM come into place. My son is just starting his 3rd year,OMG, did I just say that...WOW time really moves fast. I do know from my son while in A school, alot of time is spent in computer labs, then the guys/gals do strand, which is where they break off into their speciality...(snipes) is what they call engineers....and I believe they all class up together, ex: GSM-EM-EN etc..I know that my son's "strand class" was only about 2 weeks. When they get to fleet, that is when all the learning begins. I remember my son telling how awesome the guys were to him when he came aboard ship, how they were very eager to teach him, kind of a "brothership" is real nice to hear things like that from you child! ♥

My son is entering BC in July. We live in OR and if we have any hope of attending a graduation, we would need to start saving now. Is is customary for a family to attend a BC graduation or is there an A school graduation? Is there a formal graduation ceremony? Is there a limit as to how many family members can attend?
