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."

Our daughter graduated at GL a month ago and our soon to be son-in law is graduating on 6/25/2010. He is part of SHIP 6, DIV. 932. If there is anything I answer for you let me know. We stayed there at the Ramada, it is just 4 miles from the base and they offer free breakfast everymorning, and the mall is just 5 miles from there, and 6 flags is also about 5 miles from there. Good Luck!
