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 would suggest calling the PAO (Public Affairs Office at GL). If they cannot help you the commander of GL has a profile on here somewhere. Ask him! Someone should be able to help you on that end. I find it odd that he doesn't have his orders yet. He should have gotten them already.

Hi! my husband is currently in pensacola classed up as an avaiation structural mechanic. Things are so crazy right now because all the orders come out of tennessee (as I understand it) and the base that facilitates all those orders is currently evacuated due to the flooding there. My husband graduates the 28th and we STILL dont know where we will be stationed because of this. 'Orders are currently on hold till such a time as they become available' lol.
I'm not sure if this helps you or not but I thought I'd leave the comment anyways in case it does help. Here is an article you might find interesting...

No definite date yet when he start his school? My husband will be graduating BC on July 1, I hope they start soon.

nope everything is way backed up, especially with the paper work issues. he thinks he may be rolling into the classes here soon, because he is in the pre-class classes but no one will verbally tell him what is going on and when he asks they say they dont know either.

I hope everything turns out good soon.
