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."

This is the link that you go to to see graduation. They stream all graduations for us to watch if we can't get there..We are planning to travel from Tennessee to the Great Lakes if the weather permit.on Jan. 23rd My Grandson graduates on the 24th. I can't wait and I am praying so hard for the weather to be clear and for at least some of the snow to melt. My Grandson said to wear 4 layersclothes of and snow or rain boots. My Granddaughter is going with us but, will have to watch graduation in the Chapel. Hope you all make it to your Sailors graduations safe and sound..Much love to all of you

Hah! Right you are! It is only 2 hours difference. Boy am I glad you corrected me. I'd have been so annoyed with myself if I'd gotten up at 5:45 am for no apparent reason. That extra hour does help. Thanks!

I found it! Only one question (if you know)....when it says it will start streaming at 8:45 am, does that mean EST? I'm on the West Coast, so if it's 8:45 Illinois time, it would be 5:45 am my time? (Yikes, that's early). I'd imagine that they are referring to local time in Illinois, though, since that's where the graduation takes place.

When you go to the web site you have choices so look for the live stream site. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Harleygigi. I checked that link, but couldn't see where the link for the graduation videos was. I have heard that you can buy a DVD of the graduation, but seeing it streaming live would be so much better.

You can watch it on the internet @ navy.mil.com that day. I know it's not the same

I was just sent this link, for which I am most grateful. My granddaughter is in Boot Camp, due to graduate on Jan. 24. I had so hoped to be there for her graduation, but it looks like no one in the family will be able to make it. Very sad. She should have someone there to cheer her on.

Really glad to hear that. My grandson will become a sailor on the 17th of January. Have not heard from him since Christmas. I do hope everything is going as planed. Is there anyone else going to be there on the 17th for graduation?

My Grandson did make it back to base in plenty of time! He is sure having a lot of adventures in his new life! lol

GrannyFranny-that is really heartwarming to hear...Last year my Grandson had a long layover from BootCamp to San Diego and the USO in San Francisco was very nice to him along with others....So now anytime there is a fundraiser for the USO here locally I try to participate...Best of Luck to your Grandson...
