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."

Hi Strider223. Congratulations and welcome to California. Our son will also be attending USC in the fall too. We are so proud too. This is quite an amazing feeling. When are you come in June? We will be there at the end of the month. You might want to call the school's NROTC office. This week is graduation week so they might not be in often. The kids can't get into the dorms until mid August so I am figuring the timeline will be about the same. Hope to meet you soon.

His orientation is June 28, 29 and we are hoping to find out more details for when the Navy will want him in California! I see the dorm check in day is August 22. Maybe we will meet at orientation, if you are there those same days!

Sorry I missed seeing your post until now. My son is a MIDN 1/C, Marine option (senior) at USC. So he was one of them doing the yelling at O-week this year. Since classes have already started you know the answers to your question now. Hopefully you had all your questions answered. This is an amazing program and my son has loved every minute of it, well maybe not the 5am PT. Feel free to add me as a friend I would be happy to answer any of your question since I have been there done that. As make sure you join the ROTC group here, http://www.navyformoms.com/group/rotc
Lots of great info over there and most important support!
