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."

Debbie, I believe your son would be an ABF and his a school is 36 calendar days so about 6 weeks. I hope this helps.

Tisha, my son is AM also. He got to base April 13 and classed up May 6. He was told before leaving boot camp that would be the date and it was. Hope it holds true for your fiancé!

Tisha find out if he is an AD-that stands for aviation machinist mate. If it is then mine got there April 22 and has been on hold. Still no news on classing up. :(

Hello, my fiancé is currently in boot camp and he graduates next Friday (may 31st) he's heard rumors of having to wait to class up once at Pensacola and has asked me to look into it i was hoping maybe someone here could help. He's an aviation structural mechanic. I'm not sure if that really even makes a difference. Thank you in advance.
