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."

If your sailor is not a grad and go then you get the weekend with them, pickup i believe is 630 am and until 8 or 9 at night . I've recieved 5 letters and then 1 phone calls 3 weeks in. I heard now their allowed to send letters out tuesdays and thursdays besides sundays so hopefully everyone will hear more information, and more frequently. Almost only 3 weeks, hang tight !

As long as he's not grad and go, he should be able to go on Liberty starting as early as 6:30 a.m. until (I believe) 8:00 p.m. all weekend.
