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. My son is also on ship04 division 812. I am hoping to get a letter today. Usually they come on Thursday. I am so glad to hear they are doing so well as a division.

OMG ladies, I need to apologize 4 missing the M & G. I woke up at 3:30pm. My son didn't wake me because I had been up for 2 days straight without even a nap. I will meet you all tomorrow and I will have on my red ribbon. Only 16 more hours.

Glad to hear about the Captain's Cup and the pizza party. My oldest son and I will be at the MG tomorrow night. Arrived in Chicago this afternoon and can't wait to see my Sailor. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Until tomorrow...

Also--everybody: for getting on to the base Friday morning, the car line gets pretty long, fairly early on. (you'll see a line-up of cars in the far right lane) I'm not sure when we got there last time, so I can't really recommend a time. Just wanted to give you a heads up....

Dennise, the building where the graduation takes place is in a big building that looks sort of like a gym. We will be sitting in bleacher-like seats on one side. After the ceremony is complete, we will get to go down on the floor to meet our Sailors. :) Today Jared said we'll have about 20 to 30 minutes on the floor before our guys have to get on a bus to go across the street. He also said that we will be given a new pass to be able to pick them up later at the new base. (he's pretty sure they'll give them phone privileges in order to call when their 4ish hours are up) Hope that helps!

Ok I will be wearing a red ribbon at Meet and Greet and on Friday. Yes we are going to meet at the Nex after graduation. I understand about getting all choked up I can hardly contain myself. Probably will not have time to get on here anymore, so everyone have a safe trip and looking forward meeting everyone.

I received a phone call last night also. He said they had a pizza party (not exactly sure when it was ), but it was GREAT. I believe he also told my other son they won the Captains Cup. Did anyone else hear that?
