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."

Does anybody know how many weeks of OS in A school? I have heard 12 weeks or 9 weeks. I know it is in GL but that is about all I know.

Does anyone know what kind of graduation ceremony is held for BESS? My son's is Feb. 11. He wants us to come so I was wondering what it was about.
Thanks!

My son just arrived Wednesday at Port Hueneme. I think going from Chicago snow to sunshine and palm trees has had a very positive effect, but I haven't gotten much info outside of that!

My son arrived Jan 8 at Goose Creek for A school.  Says he loves it there and was to start classes Jan 18.  Any other moms with kids in 1116 ?

Comment by annemarie on January 14, 2011 at 9:30pm

BoopzHart,

My son is also in Goose Creek.  He says things are moving slowly.  this past we was filled with informational briefings and classes will start for his program (ET) on Tuesday the 18th.  Hopefully, there will be a lot of studying to do so there isn't so much down time.  Communication with him is only fair - the cell phone reception  and internet service leaves a lot to be desired but it's a whole lot better than boot camp.
