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 am located in Orange County California. I hope to get the letter today or at least by tomorrow. I want to buy my plane ticket. The recruiter told me the date of the graduation, but I want to see it in writting. Did your son leave for GL on the 25th? or the 26th? It will be interesting if anyone of us get to meet after 8 weeks....

He left on the 25th. The graduation date on the letter was 11/23/12. I've been looking for airline tickets and man are they expensive. Looks like we will be taking Amtrak to Chicago since my younger son wants to go with me.
