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."

If I'm remembering correctly David said there were about 386 2 weeks ago. Could have changed by now. I'm not a facebook person. Is it possible for someone who knows to post info about the meet & greet on the N4M website (assuming there is one). I guess I'm kind of an old mom with one of the oldest Nukes (David turned 26 last week). I think that David has the tech knowledge for both of us. If there is no meet and greet I look forward to meeting some of you at the grad. Where are people staying. We just made reservations at the Spring HIll Suites in North Charleston (about 9 or 10 miles from the base).

Because of a fanttastic air fare deal, we are getting there on Wednesday. I'm hoping (but not counting on) David being able to get off base on Thursday (I assume that's the last day) night for dinner. Because of the great deal we got, we have to go back on Saturday. House on Folly beach sounds great. I'll just ask everyone if they are "Labmom39" at breakfast.

davidsmom, it's nice to hear from another mom of an "old" sailor. My son will turn 26 in January. My other son and I are driving to Charleston from Oklahoma City. We're planning (key word here is planning) on arriving in Charleston by mid-afternoon on Thursday. We've got a house on Isle of Palms for 5 nights. I'm not on the facebook group either, so any plans for a meet and greet, I hope they'll show up here on this site as well. I

Days Inn on Red Bank Rd, a few miles from base. Coming in Thurs afternoon, leaving Sunday early ... there is a HUGE foodie festival at Boone Plantation Sat and Sun with all kinds of events and tastings. Am hoping I can get my son on board for this ... but since it's expected to draw thousands of people there will be lines, and that won't fly with him!
