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."

Ohiomom...we aren't sure what we're doing yet either. We are supposed to call Sarge back tonight and hopefully he can help us out. I'm really crossing my fingers that we will make it to at least part of the meet and greet.

Ohiomom...we talked to Sarge yesterday as well. What a nice guy- I can't wait to meet him in person! He told us to come to the meet and greet even though we don't land until 6:00. He said this is a huge graduation with so many divisions involved. I was wondering the same thing about getting back- though maybe we shuttle back as well

The anticipation is killing me !ha ha! I hope the calls come tomorrow because I'll be flying out on Thurs. I also hope my PIR ribbon comes tomorrow too. I ordered it awhile back. Do any of you have the ribbon link?

LibbysMom...the ribbons are for moms to wear to graduation. I learned about them from this website. I can't find the link anymore, so I hope the ribbon comes tomorrow. My son is in 316. Have a safe trip.

I have a sailor! Congrats to all the moms getting their calls now. I was surprised that he got to stay on the phone for an hour, and it was wonderful. We called my husband, and we called my mom. She was so surprised, all she could do was cry. This has been such an emotional journey over the last 7 1/2 weeks. I'm excited that he will be in Pensacola Sunday, and that I'll be able to visit him, since we only live 4 hours away. He told me about his best friend there, SR Orth. I also talked to someone named Mack. He told me he loved me! LOL. I can't wait to meet everyone once we get there.
