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."

Finally have internet back!! The service tech no showed 3 times and finally on 4th try showed up. Tawnie I spoke with Zach last night he said something about being done in the next week with BECC (which is only 6 weeks< I thought it was a 10 week course) but is unsure when HT school will begin. That course needs at least 4 people in it to begin. Have you heard same from your sailor? If so they may be done 1 month earlier than I was thinking.

Depends. Sorry my Internet is down and I'm using my so called smart phone that auto corrects incorrectly

That's what I was thinking...late October early November....I guess we will just have to be Navy strong and wait and see!!!!

I would like to try and make it to graduation as well. But will depend on when it is. I was thinking his A school will get done in November? I could be wrong.

hey JenniferP and Tawnie. when mine was up at GL for C school I was trying to find pictures. but came across this facebook page. I think it was the one that was putting up pictures of all the schools they have going and the "graduations" from them. www.facebook.com/TrainingSupportCenterGreatLakes?fref=ts&rf=894...
mine has said both A and C school grads are "no big ceremony/deal". Just hand them a certificate and take a picture and send them on their ways. The PIR WAS the big ceremony for them.
I went to neither but wish I had tried to get to his A school one. Good luck to both your sailors.

JenniferP, I know they were studying a lot on Sunday for a big test Monday. My son did tell me that I might not want to come to A school graduation because there were only like 5 of them in his graduating class (if that is how you say it). I was like whatever, I don't care, I just want to see your face!!!! No idea when graduation is yet.
