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."

Hello Redmop 96. Welcome! My son left from Oxnard,CA took a flight from LAX. I received his box yesterday & today I received his address, no PIR info yet. I am guesstamating that they may grad on the 22nd. Do you have any info yet????
Are you planning to go to graduation? Looking forward to more people joining our group! -

We got his box yesterday, the address we'd gotten last week from the local recruiter. We are planning on going to graduation, thought maybe it would be the 15th, wish we'd get a letter and know for sure. We are definitely planning on going. I work every other weekend and am off the 15th/16th but also work with a great group of nurses and don't think I'll have too much trouble trading even though the 22nd is Easter. Hopefully the letter comes soon! Will let you know.
