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."

momoffour - the passing out is actually caused from standing there with their knees locked. when my daughter graduated they told them all not to lock their knees, something about standing there with them locked causes them to pass out. i was a paramedic for 20 years and never heard that one.
i didn't hear about any meet and greet when she graduated (2007). it was a 23 hour drive that took longer because my relief driver had to fly back home due to her dad dying. when my oldest graduates this august i'm flying.
