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, my fiance will be heading to a school in about 40 days or so once he graduates from bootcamp. I have a feeling I won't be able to go down with him right away even if we get married or not. So my question is this, while he is in A School for IT, will he be able to have his cellphone with him, and if he gets a computer and puts skype on it, will he be able to use it? I know there is alot of phases that he must go through while in A School, so I wasn't sure how they do all that stuff. I'm hoping to join him asap, but in the mean time I would like to have a way to talk to him and see him.
Will he be able to have that stuff there?

Julie - He will be at Corry Station, Pensacola.  Corry is about 6 miles up the road from NAS Pensacola, so the normal Pensacola group hasn't a clue how Corry Station operates.  Don't get me wrong, they are great people, but they just don't understand it.  He should buy a laptop, but the internet connections are really bad at Corry.   They have a internet at the old club on base, which has really good internet.  

Even though our group only deals with CT's, we have alot of information about Corry since that's the main base CT's go to.  So you might want to look at this group too:

Question also, do you know how long the phases last? And how many of them there are?

Pensacola's internet connections are poor in more locations than just Cory!  :)  Luckily the cell phones work great!
