Since your Sailor has a contract for Operations Specialist (OS), join OS MOMS. You will also want to join Great Lakes A School Q&A and GL A-school moms. You can also check out the Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes Facebook Page.
The Rating Information Card for OS can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/os.pdf. (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.)

Make at least change 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link).
There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.
Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with your Sailor.
