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."

Ladies, flexibility will come in handy. Even when they are given summer cruise info ~ it is subject to last minute change. I guess, to give us a taste of what's to come in their continued Navy life. :-)

My son goes to Tulane as well, so he'll be there. I'm sure we'll get a brief report over the weekend. He's a typical son, so we don't get a lot of details. Hopefully the weather will be OK.. right now it looks like thunderstorms.

As far as we know, but won't be finalized til April or so, 4C DS is going East for Cortramid 'cuz he has requested July due to a family conflict in June. Everyone doing Cortramid in June goes West. Everyone doing Cortramid in July goes East.
DD is hoping to go to San Diego for her 2C cruise, which will be in a Naval hospital since she is a nursing student.
