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."

Does anyone know how many people each guy can have at graduation? Is there a limit like boot camp?

RuthVH...we didn't get to go to the graduation; too far to drive and we couldn't afford to fly. He said it was okay and didn't have a problem with it. I would like to make the one from Camp Pendleton, but it is just a few weeks before my older son's wedding, so finances will not line up for it yet again. Yes, he is going to FMTB and then onto Okinawa. He is home this week!

It does start at 1000, promptly. I highly recommend you get there early to get good parking, seating, pick of the souvenirs, and to also try to pick yourloved one out in the formation. I think we arrived at 0930 and got front row seats on the side where I could best see my son.
Your loved one will know which platoon they are in and where they will be standing in formation so picked your seat based on that. Gloria and I were on opposite ends of the bleachers unfortunately.
Best wishes to all of you and congrats to our FMTB Sailors. .
