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."

Honor Grad & Award Winner SEATING advice
At the pre-reception brief, the officer who briefed us asked that nobody stand up and take pictures of their SR so that others were not blocked. QUESS WHAT? Parents are excited,and they all stand up.
If it is allowed, since you will likely get there at 6:30, go into PIR hall and save your seats with jackets or cushions. Your SR division sign will be posted where they will be standing so that you know where to sit. Then go back in for the honor grad reception and awards. Do like Sarge says and get a seat in front of your SR Div up in the balcony looking down. Unless you know for sure that your SR is in the front row, you won't see him very well from the floor.
The divisions enter PIR in numerical order from least to highest. After they march around in a circle, they will be lined up with lowest Number Div to left and highest number Div to right. For our PIR, there were 11 divisions, and our SR was to the far left as one of the first DIV to enter the room. We could not see around the review podium. The last DIV (highest number div) to enter the room was to the right and we could have seen an SR Div down to right of the review podium. Nevertheless, the honor grad presentation and handshake out in front of the podium was very difficult to see no matter what your SR div is. You will have no problem seeing from the balcony.
