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."

My sailor left on Sunday..just depends on the flights available..after BS they get their orders and flight arrangements part of the processing out of BC...the Navy moves them out to make way for the new incoming and the RDC get a day off!...You might ask..Why does the Navy wait until the last minute?..well, only those that grad get their orders and flight to A school or the fleet...when grad from A school they are on flights or driving off base only hours later, gotta keep them all moving on to the next steps...

I understand just trying to get clarity. Hopefully I'll be as lucky as you and she'll have a Sunday flight.

Where is she flying to? My grandson is going to SC after PIR on 2/7 and I haven't heard that. We were under the impression that we had the weekend. My daughter is staying until Monday, 2/10 to stay with him!

Just found out my Nuke flies out early Saturday morning (6am?) to SC & he will be leaving for the airport around midnight Friday. Our return flight to Colorado is on Sunday so are researching things to do and stay warm all day Saturday. Sad that we will miss having Saturday with our loved ones.
