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."

August 19th Graduation
My son is set to graduate on August 19th. Ship 10 Division 265. When does he officially know that he is going to graduate on time? He writes a letter telling me that he has to do a 2+ mile run that he is concerned about. But I don't know when that is. And what is the time frame that they give to let you know if he is graduating on time? I can't afford to buy refundable tickets. And it is past time to buy. Help me!

I know! We went through a travel agent because my husband was having a hard time getting seats. She said that we needed to call in 24 hrs before take off to get into A, B or C. A gets first pick of seats. I have never heard of that. We have all the information that we need and all we have to do is show up with id's that match the reserved tickets. Since I have never traveled Southwest before I am a little nervous about the procedures but I think it will work out.

SW is one of the "easiest" airlines to fly. I have never had a crew that didn't crack me up. They have good security, don't get me wrong, but they work hard at making your experience as enjoyable as possible. You can check in online 24 hrs in advance and print your boarding passes from home or any other computer :)

I was told that if they don't pass what they need to on that day- they call home and inform us... I have heard horror stories about people not knowing until PIR so I sent the same question this morning to the Navy Recruit Training Command on FB and someone sent me a note back that they would inform us that day...
