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."

I just had to change my RSVP to not attending. Our son had his appendix removed late Saturday/early Sunday at the hospital in Waukegan. We don't know any details yet of what happens next, but one thing we do know for sure is that he'll be in the hospital about 3 more days (it was a ruptured appendix). He's so disappointed that he won't be graduating with his division, but he's looking forward to picking up where he left off when he's well enough.
We learned from his surgeon that there were four people from RTC who had appendectomies this weekend at the hospital in Waukegan. We know at least one was a reservist--he was our son's roommate.
