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 do. My son is Ship 12 Div 098. I'm sure you could tell that from my name.. duh :-). When I talked to him last week he said he was still going to Great Lakes for A school and he was grad n go. I know the military though so I'm waiting until just before PIR to believe anything.

I do. My son is Ship 12 Div 092. He said he was a grad n go, but didn't say where he was going. He did say he could be with us all weekend but had to go back to the base at night. Does that mean he will be staying in GL?

I called NHCS (corps school) today and was told that all corpsman graduating 3/11/11 would go to A school in GL. I still doubt this info a little just because (not trying to be negative) we have received soooo much wrong info from the Navy. Had a horrible experience with his recruiter, but anyway, I'm not counting my chickens until they hatch. Still holding out for San Antonio!

I understand where you are coming from. My son was told that he would stay in GL and that would be best for us. Sorry that you would not fare as well. :-(
