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."

Kathy,
Awesome! Enjoy homecoming! I was fortunate enough to get on a 2-day Tiger Cruise and be on the ship for homecoming. We also had about a dozen family members who made the trip but most of them were in driving distance.

Kathy,
I found a post (not sure it's your's) and added my 2 cents. Too bad you can't get some local and/or national news to pick this cause up and get some publicity.

Congrats MJ's mom....My son stayed in GL for a few weeks but there was no big official graduation. It is a very small event and I was not aware of any parents being there. I live in Florida and had gone up for the grad from BC so did not attend the OS one. Right after A school, he went to his ship which is in Mayport, FL.
