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 son graduated on July 13th from GL and was on hold until August 4th. He is currently at CS school with a proposed graduation date of September 7 then he is going to Groton CT for sub school. Any other moms out there with similar sailors? My son says the A school is pretty cool and he is enjoying the cooking a lot.

Hi tam1960. My son is in the same class. He will graduate on September 7th as well. Are you going to his graduation? My son said not to go because he might leave the same day for sub school.

Nika, CS school is at Ft Lee, Virginia. He may be on hold for a week or two at GL after graduating boot camp. Enjoy PIR and the weekend with your sailor. Chicago may be a busy town but the Navy Pier is a good place to visit.

They will get either a week if they are going stateside and two weeks if going overseas, if I remember right. He can save 5 days if he works with his recruiter when he comes back. I had to leave for a work trip before my son left for Japan but we had a week together.
