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."

Okay so where is everyone staying, is everyone coming in the day before? If so is there a place that we all can meet in Coronado for a meet and greet that night? Anyone done this before so give us hints as to what we should make sure of, etc?

Yes they are a day behind schedule.

Definitely not a better place but hopefully we get news in time to change hotel and plane reservations without penalties. ..

I haven't heard anything about their schedule but joirenee...if you have to stay an extra day here in San Diego, you couldn't pick a better place! Our weather is beautiful now!

Yea for getting approval! And yer welcome if it was her;). She's pretty good about getting msgs to shipmates! Haven't heard anything more about dates yet so still keeping same dates at this point. Guess we will see!
Looking forward to meeting you all!

First of all I have been approved to go on the tiger cruise-yay!
Secondly I just talked with my son (thanks, Spyder013 if you daughter helped in that regard) and he says they are a day behind. Anyone else got that? Perhaps they will make it up in Hawaii? Has it come through official channels yet? When will we know if we will have to stay an extra day near the base or not?
