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."

We don't have a date and probably won't 'til a day or two before and even then I don't think it can be aired in public forums. My husband, our son's fiancee and I are planning to attend the homecoming. It is easy for Dan and I because we are retired so we will just travel to Groton at moments notice. We are 6 hours away so hopefully it will work out. It is going to be more difficult for our daughter-in-law to be. If I hear anything and know the info can be shared I will post.
