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."

From what I have read here if that I would not miss he graduation for anything. And I also have seen that maybe you can got to the airport a visit with her there. My son will be staying in GL but if he was a grad and go I would still go just to see him for a few. It has been a long 3 weeks and I know when it is 8 weeks I will really need to see him.
