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 think I finally found the right group. My son is currently at Great Lakes, has 2 weeks left, then going to CT for A-school. Anyone else have an SR in Great Lakes yet?

My son is in Great Lakes, in his third week of basic training. His graduation is set for September 9th.His job will be Sonar Radar Tech and he will be going to San Diego for his A school. What I would like to find out about is the week-end of his graduation. I keep hearing two different things. He will most likely have to Grab and Go on Saturday. Then I hearing, he should get the entire week-end to spend with family and then go to A school the following week.Which is what I would like to count on. Need to make plane reservations soon but not sure when I should book my return.Can someone that has experienced this please advise?
