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."

Good evening everyone. My SR is in BC right now and his PIR is April 26th from there he will go to P'cola for A school. I was wondering about how long A school normally is for this job :)

Does anyone know where AWVs usually go for C school and for how long? My son is thinking JAX, but is there anywhere else?

My son just signed up for AV, doesn't leave till September, though he is in the DAR program. Can someone give me a good idea of what exactly AV's do?
Thanks
