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."

My fiance just graduated from bootcamp on Feb.1st, he is EM (non nuke) so he is now on Great Lakes for ASchool. He was told that he would have 3 schools and they are all in Great Lakes. Hope this helps a bit.

Sorry for the delay, well I asked my sailor here's the info he gave me: They will have a total of 3 schools in great lakes, 1st is BECC (that's where my sailor is right now) 2nd is ATT school and 3rd is 9 Charlie (I thought it was a weird name, but that's how they call it lol). The time to get all this courses done its about 5-6 months, that is if there's no delay in the time the courses start. And he wont get his orders until he reaches 9 charlie. Another thing if they give him verbal orders, remember its not a fact until its written down, some times they give verbal orders to one place, and end up in another. Please feel free to write me whenever, Its nice to know some one related to the same rate, because there's not a lot of EMs non nuke, I'm also learning about all this navy craziness lol :)
