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."

3 boy mom, yes, you are able to share this info with him. After PIR he will know his flight information and when he will arrive at the airport, but will not know much about "A" School unless he has looked up the info previously. He will receive his Course Master Schedule once he classes up.

Lemonelephant- thank you for all this great information, how much of this will my SR receive before he heads to S.A ? am I allowed to share this with him when I go to PIR ?

teachermom, that is correct.

Katharyn Allana, Orders have been offered at various times. Three to four weeks before graduation seems to be the norm again. If everything is in order, then your Sailor will be able to leave on the same day as graduation.
Break down week by week will let you know what happens at NTTC Lackland (San Antonio).
