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."

So far, all I know about A's Pensacola training is that his recruiter told him it would be 6 weeks long. His orders say it will be 104 days, which is almost 3 months. He graduates on April 15. I think I will remember that day. :)

My son is excited about school. Especially since he will finish 2 days before his birthday.

S has told me that he was supposed to be in school for 14 weeks, but he now thinks it has been changed to 6months. He has no idea when his graduation date is. as luck will have it, it will probably be the same week that we have our reservations for the beach !

Manny is heading out for Pensacola at 0'dark thirty for Pensacola for A school. Something to do with crypto, I'm sure he will not be able to tell me much. He said he will graduate sometime in June. Chicago in December, Florida in June, who makes these schedules anyway ;o). It was great to have him home for Christmas, made him clean out his room again. He packed his stuff in labeled boxes so I can ship what he needs after he gets there and figures out what he can and can't have. I just hope he takes his xbox!

Donna, My son's orders say the same thing.
Maryland Mom (Donna) I hope S graduates before your beach trip.
CAMandingo, You did better than I did. My son didn't pack anything. He said with Skype, I can just walk around his room and he will show me what to pack. lol
proudmom, that would be so cool if he did graduate then.

Wendi - D just called me and said he and his buddy are headed to the "Big NEX" today. I will post what he says about it. He is on the hunt for a TV.

Susan, let me know what D finds out too. A wants to buy a tv, but I told him to wait until he sees if his roommates are getting one first.
