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."

If everythning goes as planned, he will be an Aviation Stuctural Mechanic. He will be going ot Pensicola for A school. Not sure if he'll be coming home after BC or be a grad & go. Was your sin a grad & go? did you get any time with him after PIR?

he will be in S. Carolina for 18/24 months, then possibly Groton Ct for 12 weeks for welding school and then into the fleet. we are hoping his choices are all East Coast Ports - but time will tell.
