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."

Claudia it all depends where his A school is. If he stays at Great Lakes he will most likely have the weekend to spend with family. Those that shipout can leave as early as the next morning. I have heard one person say their son shipped out at 1:30 am on Sat. Regardless I wouldnt miss it for the world. I am a very PROUD momma
