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."

Made reservations today! I'm so excited!!! I'm writing to Rachel telling her our plans and start crying. I can't wait to see her!!! It will be a long 24 days. I asked her about the black backpack . Has anyone else heard of anything else we can bring them that they can take to "A" school?

I'm packing my hubby a weeks worth of gym clothes and boxers. From what I hear that's the only time they can wear civilian clothes while in phase 1 is when they go to work out. Buttttttt it could differ from base to base! And of course his cell phone.

I believe you can basically give them anything that they are allowed at A school that will fit in the bag, including getting them a laptop or tablet or something. As long as it fits and the bag is completely black with no logos or crazy on it they can take it on the plane with them.

Cell phones! Yippee.....communication devices! I do know that we have to hand the stuff off to them at the airport; they can't take anything back to base with them.
