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."

pandalvr - graduations are normally held on a Friday - unless there's a holiday. I'd have him double check just to be safe. Also, you might want to ask this in our nuke moms group. Maybe there is someone there with a son/daughter in the same class and will have more info.
