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."

Hi Jacquie, I do not believe that graduation from A school is as big as it was for PIR. You should go to the Mom's of A School and search for those who have sailors in Mississippi and/or those who have sailors doing your son's job. They would be able to tell you.
