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."

Yes Chris they are GREAT!! They are our kids, duh - LOL! Yes, I ordered ribbons from Lora also, I got them the other day. They are wonderful. We plan to leave the hotel around 6:30 a.m. My friends son just graduated on the 21st and she said it was a LOT of people and to arrive early because seating goes quickly and the walk is pretty long. My 82 year old grandmother will be with us and she can't walk very fast so we need as much time as we can get to the ceremony hall. I will be at the Meet & Greet as well with my hubby. We don't plan to bring all of the kids (that's just a little much with an early morning the next day :) Looking forward to finally meeting everyone face to face. When I spoke to my son the other day he was talking about adopting members of the division to be his new brothers and sisters LOL! but I told him cousins would be better, that way I would get new sisters in you guys LOL! I must go to sleep, the morning will arrive very quickly and I will be no good at work.

Hi everyone...FIVE DAYS!!! My son called yesterday but I was in the car. By the time I pulled over and got the phone out it was too late (big time ticket for talking on the phone in CA). I'm so happy to hear about the Captain's Cup from you because he didn't say anything about that in his message.
I received the ribbon from Lora and it is beautiful. Did you order too?
What time are you arriving at PIR? We will have my 80 year old mom with us so we don't want to be too early and sit around too long.
We arrive in Chicago Thursday and will be at the Meet and Greet - I'll wear my ribbon so we can find each other!
I CAN'T WAIT to talk to him on Tuesday!

Dear friends, I was GONE when my son called yesterday. I had no idea we might receive a call so I didn't even forward my phone. stupid! stupid! stupid! There were 3 things that made it better. 1. knowing God is in control 2. I know he'll be calling Tues. and I'll get my hands on him on Fri. and 3. all of YOU! Thanks for posting and letting me know what is going on. I was blown away by 058 winning the Captain's cup!! Are they great or what?!?

We are heading down Thursday, but as you know we don't have far to travel. We aren't staying at the Ramada either, but my husband and I definitely will be at the Meet & Greet. We'll definitely have to try to meet up there - any suggestions?
danbrisoap - I think that is a very cool nickname. My kid hasn't told me if he has one or not. I would be very interested to know what they call him. :)
We have a lot of family that plans to come down because they want to see my kid, we all really miss him.
Have a wonderful day!

I'm planning on being at the meet and greet. We are leaving in plenty of time it just depends on traffic in Chicago. Looking forward to meeting all of you. It would be fun to sit together at graduation.
