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.

My son received his verbal orders today. He graduates QM A School this Friday April 11th. he was told that he should receive his hard copy orders sometime between now and next Wednesday April 16th. I am so happy he is going to be stationed in San Diego only 3 hours away from us.

Does anyone currently have a sailor in QM A School? I was wondering if anyone knows when they are suppose to get their orders to their first command? My son will be graduating A school on April 11th and has not heard anything as of yet.
