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."

No overnight PIR weekend previlidges. They can earn overnight weekends during A school, and maybe at A school graduation, but not after bc graduation.
TM...where is your daughter these days? Is she enjoying it? Christian has been in San Diego since Jan and has been doing BM work, but it's kept him busy and out of trouble until his ship comes home. He's doing work that isn't his field, but is very excited to getting aboard the ship and underway. take care :-)

Julz, I know a lot of people a lot of people who got over night liberty. I am an army veteran and went to a naval EOD school and a lot of the navy guys there got over night liberty graduation weekend. I don't know if things have changed, but it was recently.

My fiance graduates on April 2nd, and she has been told by other OS's in A-school that over night liberty is granted after they check-in. Don't quote on me, but this is just word of mouth. She is going to A-school in great lakes too.
