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."

Joan, sounds like you had a wonderful experience! It's a once in a lifetime experience, isn't it?
Our flight from Norfolk to Atlanta was cancelled as well and we ended up staying an extra day, but it was a GREAT extra day since Matt was with me.
Tell your new Sailor congratulations and thanks for his service!

Matt was Grad n Go. I spent 2 hours with him at RTC and 2 hours with him at the airport. You may have to venture outside this group to get some input. I would suggest the Great Lakes group or the Chicago group. When my nephew graduated, my brother and SIL took Sam to Chicago and had fun. If I wasn't so old, I'd be able to remember where they went to have fun.......lol

Joyce is the one who didn't remember to take a picture. She is in charge of photography for the Tucson area......lol
With or without pictures, we had a GREAT time. Such a nice turn out with so many different stages of Navy life!!!!!
Sue shared her Tiger Cruise Book with us. If it would have fit in my purse, it would be at my house right now....lol
Let's do it again, girls. So much to share, so little time.. :)
