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, I was told to come here because I have a daughter that is graduating boot camp 4/9/10. I'm just a couple hours away from Great Lakes. We also received our gradutation notice. We are going to stay the hotel also. What time does the graduation start? I will need to find a gift. Anyone know of where there are some nice navy photo frames to get? Thanks.
