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 son is in Class 235A. He also started yesterday, so I guess 235A and 235B go through school at the same time. He said he made 100 on his first test. I guess that was the one on Life Support. He graduated boot camp August 26 and arrived in San Antonio August 27.

Hi Jana
My son, Joel, said that the 2 classes are together. Each has about 50. They have started anatomy. He said he likes it but lots of work. He is looking for his "civilian" clothes since they got Phase 2. Where are you from? We are in Miami,FL. Saw you may be going out there. Hope you have a great time visiting your son. We are considering trip in Nov. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks, Gale

Guess the 2 divisions are going together. Did a video chat on Facebook. It was great seeing him. Much better than bootcamp.

The last I heard was sometime around December 18, but the date seems to change everytime I talk to him, so I really don't know for sure.

My son is in 235A, but I think they go with 235B. I just talked to him and he said he thought they were picking tomorrow also. He also told me that graduation is December 13. Has anyone else heard that date?
