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."

I went back and looked thru my text from sailor and he was on hold to start but ended up starting a week earlier for Becca- for his holds and classes for everything he was there for 14 weeks then came home:) in that time he had hold time inbetween some classes he said if no hold it should be no more than 11 weeks total for A school.

Thank you Mamma Marsha. Do you know if they start BECC while they're on hold? Or do they have to wait for that also?
-

While on hold they do stay where they have A scool. Duty is any thing from cleaning to watch.

Does anyone know if after boot camp while you are on hold for A school. Do you stay in your boot camp ship or do you move to a new ship? His A school is in Great Lakes. And what are your duties while waiting for A school to start?
