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."

Jordosmom- It all makes sense now!!!! haha because your son is an officer, their schools don't line up the same way as the enlisted. not that that means you aren't welcome here... because you most certainly are. I will be picking your brain soon because my sailor is applying for OCS soon ( if he hasn't already) so know what to expect will be awesome :)

All I know is that Aaron starts November 2nd (officially classes start the 9th, I think?) and his class number is 1101. Otherwise, I'm clueless. :)

i thought that classes start every 2 months? how is there a class staring in nov AND dec?! or is it because of stand down that they let them start early? so confusing and not getting easier :( lol

1101 will be starting in November. :) Aaron just mentioned his class number last night!

Jeanne, I had a hand crank popcorn maker that we used all the time, Stevens friends used to beg to make the popcorn, knew where the popcorn bowl, salt & butter were.... simple can be good.
