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."

Thank you to all who have taken the time to post on this site. My son will graduate on Tuesday and be moving on. Your many posts have helped me understand what he is doing and it meant so much. Good luck to all and you will always be in my prayers.

My son just arrived in A school late last night. Is there a website directly for the A School like there is for RTC when they were in bootcamp?

Shirley, there are several hotels close to Corry and NAS. There is even a "Navy Lodge" on the base. Your kid will let you know when you can visit, because they have duty and watch schedules. Also, he/she will be Phase One for a few weeks and then will move up to Phase Two, etc. Your kid will let you know.

My son just graduated from Great Lakes Boot Camp and flew down to Pensacola on Saturday. He is now an Airman Apprentice.He is going into the Air Rescue Swimmer program.
It is so nice being able to talk to him every day - I hated Boot Camp where our only communication was letters! It was kind of funny that he left Chicago where it was snowing and the high was 18 degrees and he woke up yesterday morning and it was 26 degrees in Florida. I think he brought the cold weather with him from Chicago!

Sweet - That makes more sense. Aircrew is actually AW. AD is totally different than AW. AW goes through some really rough training, it's long and hard. You might want to go to this link. I had an AW write the day-per-day routine on what they do.
