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."

DAR12You don't go through security to get to the USO. She got her flight information the day before graduation but we didn't know that information until we saw her right after graduation.

You're welcome DAR12.
I just sent you a friend request.
My daughter didn't know when she was leaving Great Lakes until the day before PIR but I know that some knew a few days before that.
We met her at the USO in the airport. They can use their phones when they are with you off base, but cannot take them onto the Great Lakes base.

Hi DAR12.
She did leave Saturday early morning but because it was July 4the weekend, her PIR was on Thursday so we had some of Thursday (she had watch for a couple of those hours) and all day Friday. We then met her at the airport in the wee hours of Saturday morning to give her a phone.
Before your son goes to Pensacola, I want to tell you about her experience there the first couple of days. I think the information my help him.
