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."

I don't know. I know all A schools shut down..however basic doesn't. If he is on hold at RTC, which yes, does happen, where they stay there for a few weeks or whatever is needed until rooms open up. Or if he is grad n go to like..Florida the next day or something..he may not get that amenity. You won't know for sure until he gets his orders on when to be back and such the day of his PIR.
Yeah..leaves change..I don't see anything spectacular about it..they do the same thing ever year. Lol.

Really? I was talking to his mom and she has been talking to other moms around here who say that its most likely for him to come home that weekend because its thanksgiving and everything and they usually dont leave, plus its only like an hour away from his house so if anything he could be back like whenever. aw i really hope hes able to! but yea i deff dont want to be the reason he gets in trouble or anything, id feel horrible.
haha the leaves change. well they are kind of pretty i guess, just sucks knowing that winter is coming :( lol

& Yeah, I know..Rockford is pretty boring..they like going to see the leaves change?? I don't know. They do some sparatic things.

I wouldn't make bets that he gets to come home...If he is on hold...or if he is a grad n' go to another place..he may not get that ammenity....Safest bet may be to stay at a hotel. Especially if he has duty or something, he will need to be back for that. It's not the best idea to take him that far from base...they can change things at the stop of a dime..and you don't want to be the reason that he gets in trouble for being too far from base...

Oh thats so exciting to hear that i can get into graduation with no problem!! i just hope i dont cry lol. i know i will though. yea my boyfriend said something about a list so i wasnt really sure what he was talking about. thank you guys SO MUCH for clearing it up for me. yea i think i will go, and his family isnt staying at a hotel. they are bringing him back home so i wasnt sure if it was a big deal if i went or not, or even if i sat outside and waited for him lol. i just CANT WAIT to see him!! theyre bringing him back home since his PIR is the day before thanksgiving, he gets to come home the 24th and then stay for the weekend im pretty sure. so maybe he goes back on monday? havent figured that far ahead yet but hopefully ill know soon.
haha thats funny that your family just likes going to Rockford randomly, theres really not much to do in Rockford lol
