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."

Dillions mom- I'm waiting for my scrapbook supplies I ordered last week to arrive. Navy scrapbook with the Navy emblem on the front, and stickers, and papers. Also, collect things at the graduation and places you go. I'm going to try and find a scrapbook store out there and see if they have area stickers....like Great Lakes, or papers etc.

From the facebook page
Families of Honor Graduates and Awardees have had letters sent to them a couple of weeks ago. So, they already know. Every once in a while there is a replacement; that is why we wait until today to confirm the names. There are no more changes this close to graduation.

Congrats to all!!! Safe travels to all of those on the road all of those who will be SOON!!! My glass half-full attitude is that he ran out of minutes on his calling card and his generation has never learned how to call collect! You know it is the only Division I didn't hear from that "everyone passed"...but i'll be there Friday!

after weeks of waiting for my cell phone to call he calls the house and no one was home. boo hoo. For the first two weeks I had waited for my cell phone to go off with the ring tone I had set for him. When my husband told me it wouldn't be going off since he didn't have the phone. Very sad, very sad. Now he calls home and I missed it. The voice message sounded good, misses all and can't wait to see us. Said the mail service was very slow. So much for getting my list of questions answered.
