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 Description
The Ramada hosts a complimentary meet and greet for all family and friends of graduates each Thursday evening prior to graduation. It is held in their lounge. The Ramada does this for every PIR group as a courtesy, it is free. Those staying at the Ramada will get a voucher for two free drinks and they have a cash bar. They do not mind if you bring in a water or soft drink with you. The RSVP just helps them get a head count so they know how much food to prepare. But I am sure they make a bit extra!

So this says outside the drill hall is prohibited. That means we can take pics & video of the graduation - right?

Peggy, this is what I found in the family guide:
"We know you‟ll want to record this special day, so you are invited to take pictures while inside the drill hall for graduation; however, any photography outside of the drill hall is strictly prohibited, including camcorders and mobile phones. Security will take your camera!"
I am so looking forward to that day! I could cry just thinking about it!! I better stock up on kleenex! ;)

@Maja ... This single mom will definitely be there. My mother was kind enough to take time off to come too (from Ohio). Our friend, who is like family, is taking leave (he's Navy) to be there as well from Texas (unless things change ... never know with the military). ~smile~ I'm counting down!!!

Wow - graduation will be here in the "blink of an eye". Looking forward to meeting the "rest of the gang". Quick question, how many of you are coming with your husband or significant other? Better get busy -- sprucing up my SR's bedroom. Want to make sure it is done in case she can get leave anytime after graduation.

Hi y'all! I'm so very excited that I was able to change my hotel reservations to the Ramada. I'm so grateful that the Ramada is hosting this Meet & Greet and look forward to meeting everyone there!
Only 40 days to go to meet all of your proud folks and 41 days to see the handsome smiling face of my son again. Woohoo!!!
Hugs to everyone!! ~smile~
