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."

Make sure when you get your hotel rooms you tell them your child is graduating from the base. You will get a discount.

LTLT thanks for the heartfelt prayer. It is so good to see so many from Division 946 posting today. I'm late posting but it makes me feel so much more a part when I can see others posting from my rct's division. Thanks!!!

@LTLY, I'm considering a backpack with my heels in it for the ceremony and pictures and my tennis shoes for the walking. But I did see the cutest boots in a newspaper add today.. So who knows. Shopping day will tell.
WOW is it really just 25 days till PIR? I am changing my stay reservations. The homewood suites ends up to be $79.00 / night for a 2 room suite- one bedroom with two double beds and a room with a living and kitchen area, full fridge. indoor pool looks nice. two bedroom suite has king, then 2 dbls, 2 baths and the living/ kichen area for 149.00 a night. I used the corporate code on the flyer we got with the form letter. Only downside is there is no shuttle.
