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'm not bringing the little people to the Ramada, but will to Anastasias. I have Chloe 11, Allie 6 & Jack 4 (almost 5).

Anyone else bringing younger children?
Our youngest of five children in our blended family, Giovanni, will be with us.
He turned 8 the end of May. There is no way he'd get over not being there when his brother graduates. He loves all his siblings and his new little nephew, but he REALLY loves Lynch. Anyhow....Gio is very social and will be looking for some playmates, lol.

Updated through this point! To clarify, the M&G is still at the Ramada. We have also booked a private room at Anastasias for anyone who wants to go eat dinner with other Navy moms/families. This will eliminate your wait for a table elsewhere should you still need to feed your family. Thanks!

I have already RSVP with my son SR Ryan, but my husband, Eric, daughter, Jenna and my oldest son, Kyle will also be attending! Thank you and can't wait to meet everyone!
