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."

lc,
I found this on Yahoo..."A-School" will be in Great Lakes.
GSM is the rate for gas turbine mechanic. It means that you will be working in the engine room, operating and maintaining the gas turbine engines of a frigate, destroyer, or cruiser. You will be part of the SNIPE (super naturally intelligent propulsion engineer) community.
Here's a good link to look at, too: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjob1/a/gsm.htm -
