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."

miasmommie & mom to sailor~My daughter has known since day 1 that I would be there for graduation so the girls you are talking about isn't my daughter. I will get to spend fri & sat with her just not on sunday. She said that she is going with one of the other girls on sunday. Just thought it would be neat if it was one of the mom's on here. I guess I will find out on friday.
Prayers going up for 351&352...Hang in there mom's, tomorrow is your day! I would say get some sleep tonight but trust me~you won't sleep much tonight. I don't think I will be able to sleep much until Friday.
Prayers also going up for those who are leaving out tomorrow. May your travel be safe and enjoyable. Looking forward to meeting everyone Thursday.
