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."

I know Brenda its just sick!! A school took longer for my son to class up taht it ook him to finish A school classes. He got done really fast. Mine got his wriiten orders a week before he graduated. They have to take a financee class before they graduate..right ladies? By the way welcome Kae . :) Where are you from? Here is some news..my son changed his leave date on his chit. Think it will get approved now? I'm taking all bets....:)

Hi all, does anyone know how long LS A-school is? i read somewhere it would be 40 days but my fiancee said he might be finished in 3 weeks. i understand it's self paced. So if he does finish early, would he get his orders early too?

I agree Brenda. Its put a rift between myself and a friend of mine. She says it shouldn't be illegal to do that. Says thats taking away from the right of free speech.I get that but don't protest by the people who fought and gave up their life for the right to give you that free speech. Oh it makes me so angry. I guess I will never understand why people do what they do.

Hey Heather did you get home during March?? Where are you? Haven't heard from you in awhile. Hope all is well with you.

Always ready where are you and your husband stationed? How do you like where you are?

It hasn't been totally denied yet....there are many reasons NOT due to my son. I Could name the reasons but I would just get angry again. I guess what makes me the most mad is that he was dissapointed about it at first, then said guess I'm coming home at a later date. He's all Navy and ok with it. So I have to be ok with it too.
