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."

We just booked our hotel room last night, and will be driving up. Are you going to the meet and greet at the Ramada? I'm hoping to make it there in time.

I won't get there in time. My flight is late and then the drive from the airport.

What is the meet and greet at the Ramada? I will be staying there, too.

The Ramada hosts a little reception for families the night prior to graduation. I think you can join on the main page here on the discussion board.

I'm trying to, but I'm not sure if he gets liberty for the weekend. Anyone know what's the deal with liberty?
-
-
-
I think liberty will depend on whether he's grad and go or not...but typically have liberty after graduation until about 2100. Again, all depends on where his A school is.

I have noooo idea. I know he's going down to Goose Creek for A school, though. I'm just wondering if the trip would be worth it- $300something for a round trip ticket and I'd only get to spend 10 hours with him, ya know? :/

Is your SR a nuke? Mine is too. He has said that he thinks they will be flying out to Goose Greek around 3 a.m. on Saturday morning, but that is always subject to change. I know it can be a tough choice sometimes....we will be driving 8 hours....but I gotta do it :)
