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."

Event Details
Event Description
Because many of us aren't able to meet the night before at the Ramada I found that we could meet at the Visitors Center right on base following graduation. From what I understand from Public Affairs this is close to a small eatery also so if anyone wanted to do lunch they could. It's also a great place to meet up with our sailor. This is very casual and informal and for anyone who wants to attend. I will be making name tags so if you are going to attend and want one let me know. Email me your personal info, first and last name, sailors name, ship and division and hometown and state.
