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 leaving from Kansas City on 3/26 as well. He is so looking forward to it, but anxious about what will happen in BC. He is going in as an Aviation Structural Mechanic. Will go to Pensacola for "A" school after BC.

"A" School for Aviation Structural Mechanic (AM) is in Pensacola, FL at Naval Air Station Pensacola. Here are some groups for you to consider: Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!, Parents of A School Sailors in Pensacola, Airman Family and Friends, and Naval Aviation. Sometime between now and the end of BC, join the ones that meet your needs. There are no groups for just AM. Here is the Rating Information Card for AM https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/am.pdf.

Well, 26 MAR 2013 *was* my son's slated departure, which was already bumped up at his option from May. Today, he got a call from his recruiter; MEPPS had called to say he leaves this Sunday instead, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Hi
The same thing happened to us. My son was to leave June 5th But he's leaving Sunday Also Might be related to sequestration.

That is a possibility, Catie. I hadn't really considered it in that light, but given his chosen field & the needs of the Navy (always paramount, as i well recall), that is very likely the reason. I would not be surprised if they wind up in the same Div/Ship in boot. :) (Mine's last name begins with L.)

So, I asked the recruiter on Sunday what was up with the (latest) change in dates. Seems they changed mission days and they don't take recruits on mission days. so they bumped up anyone who was to have gone on Wed.
