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."

Looking for others who have a loved one that will be attending A School in San Antonio. My son is to PIR on 12/2/11 and then, head to SA. I love that he will be back in Texas and just 4 hours away from me. Well, at least for 14 weeks....

Mine is the same but putting in a leave chit only for the 22nd to the 29th. She does not want to go too far in the whole for her leave dates because we have some pretty big things upcoming that she needs time off for. With her limiting the dates it makes flights a little more expensive... we are looking at $400 approx San Antonio to DC. Good that she is a "grown up" now with a job!! LOL (OK.. I lie.. we all know I am buying... LOL)

My son recruiter offer him that he can go for 2 or 3 hours to do some work at the recruiter office and that count for a day of work, not going against their vacation time, ask her recruiter for this. She may save 3 or 4 days for her off time in the future.

I leave to San Antonio on the 16th --I work as a nurse so, I work doubles on the weekends and off all week. He will be able to visit friends on the weekend and then, I will have him all week that is if his 2 other brothers will share him. They are so excited that he is coming home. I bet you guys are ready to have your Sailor in his bed. Even as old as they are I still go in and check in on them.....
