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."

My son is going to A (sub) school in New London, CT following graduation. Unfortunately, he does not know when he is departing Great Lakes. Anyone have any info on that?

So, is his PIR 12/29? If so, is he declining the opportunity to take leave?

I think they depart RTC the next day...your son will get his orders and it will tell him exactly when his plane leaves for his A school. You will probably be able to see him after graduation until liberty ends in the evening. Then some people go to the airport and sit with their sailor until he leaves the airport. Our son is not taking leave and going directly to A school in Great Lakes. We hope to be able to see him after he checks into A school. We will stay in Great Lakes until Monday. Is your son taking leave?

My son got to call home last night, he answered some quiz question right and got a 15 minute phone call home! It was a great surprise, it came on my birthday. What a great gift. He said the ship is doing well, and they now have 7 flags. He also said they've been talking about a pizza party, he's hoping that happens.

Concerned, my son said he would get to call today as it was Battle Stations day. I have not heard from him. Looking at sleepless nights until I hear from him.

I heard that they will be calling on Monday afternoon. I think Battle Stations runs all night tonight. I am praying for the guys. I hope you get some sleep & me too. :)
