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."

we're wondering about leave right after - he doesn't have to be at his assignment for awhile, and has a bunch of days for leave. Hoping to take him home with us, but he doesn't know when he will be able to leave. He was thinking maybe the next day.

Debbie,
I know, I'm excited for graduation! My sister and my daughter are both coming with me (husband has a mandatory staff meeting/workshop on the 19th...bummer is, he is the one that scheduled it, before we knew when graduation was :(
-
-
19th, too - we'll see you there! Hope he gets San Diego, Lori - will be nice to visit!
-
-
He hasn't gotten his orders yet...anxiously awaiting them!! He said that there were still several in the class that hadn't received them yet. His first request was San Diego too though. I'm sure they know each other...the class isn't that large. I'll send you a private message with my son's name :)
