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."

My son has graduated from A School in December and C School yesterday in Pensacola and is now home for 2 precious weeks before he leaves for Hawaii in March. It's been fun and informative reading your comments. Good luck to all you and your Sailors!

Mine left Pensacola for JAX NAS 1st week January. He's an AE and will be doing 'C' school in June. He's learning about p3 and P8 planes. Learn a lot from this group, lingo, training schedules,getting around in Pensacola and why he doesn't keep in touch as much as I hoped.;-) .
As he now has moved on, so will I. Fair Winds and Following seas to y'all.

TexasMom - my son is Aviation Electrician (AE), I think virtually is the same? Anyway, he PIR on 10/25 and just classed up (started class) on 1/8. From what I hear it is about a 4 month training program (depending on holds in between). Hope that helps and congrats!

Hey Pensacola A School Moms! My sailor's PIR was on 1/17/14 and he left the next day for Aviation Avionics Electronics Technician (AT) training in Pensacola. I would like to meet other Navy Moms who have had a sailor or who has a sailor going through the same training so I know what to expect. Please friend me or reply here/ Appreciate anything you can provide!

My son graduated a week before Christmas. He wasn't able to make plans to come home for Christmas because he didn't get his orders until a few days before graduation. He said the graduation was short. He is still in Pensacola until March. He will start C School soon. In March he leaves for Hawaii and will be there for the next three years. He hopes he may be able to come home on leave in February before heading to Hawaii. He is a CTR.

My son graduates A school on 23 Jan. Does anyone have info regarding graduation. Also he has not received orders for next phase (should be C school). Is this normal?

My grandson has moved on from P'cola A school. Checked into JAX NAS
I've enjoyed reading the postings, even though I've only posted a few times in my several months of membership. It seems like it's time to move on from this group. May all your Sailors and Airman be safe and well.
'Fair winds and following seas' to all
