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."

Not sure if any of you are going to graduation in MArch, but, just to save you some time,, for the end of MArch, the hotels on base are all full! Bummer. I am stil looking around, hoping for some place with a shuttle, since i prefer not to rent a car.

Also, the best westernwindsor point has really good rates , very close to base and no fee to park your car there. I called Powless at 210-357-2705 today, prettty sure this is NOT the number I called yesterday. Good Luck! Still ooking at airfare....

My son told me his grad date is march 27 and its posted as march 21st but I did notice something on the website it says alpha/bravo his class is Charlie that could be part of the reason things aren't matching up?

Hi there!
I hope anyone can help answer my confusion here....
my son will graduate on March 3rd. His contract is Dental assistant. I assume he'll go straight to C school for dental Assistant. He told me not to book any hotel yet because he doesn't know if he will be in the graduation since he'll continue to C school. Anybody know whether people who go to C school attend graduation ceremony? When do usually people who go C school take their leaves? after A school or after C school?
Thanks a bunch...

Hi my name is Rachelle I am from La Mesa CA. My son has been in San Antonio since November. I didn't even think to look for this even though I was on Navy for Moms during boot camp. I am glad I found you all.
Does anyone know the schedule for the day of graduation? Thank you.
