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."

Mclar614, after bc he will stay at Great Lakes for dive prep and if he passes, he will go to Panama City for the first part of a long journey. Orders are really not separate. EOD is like this- as long as you pass the section that you are in you move forward. It has been a few years since my son was at the school house so maybe some of the Moms who sailors are there now or recent graduates, which I know a class just graduated this past week so Congrads to them.

Do you know by chance if his orders are likely to be accompanied? I'm just trying to get a time gauge on if I need to plan movin on my own and finding housing or if there will be assistance. It may be a little clearer when he's finished boot and allowed to convey information to me

Sorry, can't help you on the accompanied issue. My son was not married when he went through the EOD. Maybe one of the other Moms will know. Mine lived on base for a few weeks and then rented a house with some of the other guys and I think it may depend on their rank. Sorry I could not help.
