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."

Chinadoll,
My son's recruiter told us to there at 9. The first group was at 9:30, but my son was not until 11. If you get there her swearing in, they can do one for you. Give yourself time to find the gate, get through and get to MEPS. It is a precious thing to see the swearing in.

Hi ladies, Avia is gone for the hotel now, tomorrow she will go to Fort Gillem for the final physical and paperworks. The recruiter did not tell us what time we should be there. Any ideas? We want to see her take the Oath as active duty Military Personel. We need a time should we go to Forth Gillem? - China:-(
