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."

Can anyone give me information on how Graduation from A School works. My daughter is celebrating her 16th so my mom and sisters are going in my place, but I need information on what to tell them to do. My son is not one to ask questions, so any help is appreciated. Or do you know a place I kind find the info on here. Tina, work has been so crazy since I got back from Chicago that I haven't been on much. How do I find you on facebook. I check there as my son is on so I can kind of keep up with how he is doing. Thanks everyone.

Yep!! The wedding is in a very small town!! There are no restaurants around there - so almost have to. I think there will be about 80 people. I've done this many times before in my own church - I just hate having to do it and haul the food 2 to 3 hours away. I'll have lots of help, though!
