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."

Well, bad timing!  My father-in-law broke his foot this past Wed!  He will be joining me to the graduation, and we are really concerned about the walk to the graduation hall!  I know it is a long walk and my poor father-in-law can barely get around and is on crutches!  Do they have anything set up to help people that are hurt/disabled get to the hall without the long walk??  He is upset and is worried that he may not get to see his son graduate if he has to make a 20 min (without a broken foot) walk.  Any help would be great!!!

I have read somewhere, they have wheelchairs available on a first come basis....cant remember where, maybe it is on the same page we printed our gate passes, under FAQ
Can you rent a wheelchair?  Or borrow one from someone?

From the RTC page....I remembered where I saw it....

 

Q.
Are wheelchairs available for use and is there designated handicapped seating available?
A.
Wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis when guests check in at the Visitor Center. There are additional wheelchairs available to those guests needing handicapped parking that can be obtained adjacent to the handicapped parking lot. There is limited handicapped-designated seating on the drill deck. One family member may accompany a handicapped family member in this area.
