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 daughter won't arrive to Pensacola until 10-10-15 but I was wanting to see if I could hear from a few of you about what A school is like. Do the sailors get to have their own clothing for weekends, do they get to have any free time, etc. I am new to the whole NAVY life so please forgive me for any dumb questions.

Hi everyone My girlfriend is due to PIR next week. I'm in the Army stationed in Germany and I am hoping to take leave the same time she takes leave after A school. Does anyone know if there is a wait to class up for A-PACT Sailors in Pensacola. If there is a wait or hold due to Sailors waiting for a spot in class how long is the wait?
I haven't seen her in a long time and I am planning on asking for her hand in marriage. I have to request my leave by Wednesday and any help in scheduling so I can see my EVERYTHING would be greatly appreciated
