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."

I read that it depends on how many are graduating. If it's a smaller group then there is a possibility of extra seating.

Lauren7891, It is great having someone so close will you be going to GL for the graduation?
Moe, I had to look at exactly what he was doing, I only knew communications, but on his paperwork it says Adv. Tech. Field Interior communications. I think he will be staying in GL for his A school.

Hi lj1422! What will your son be when he is done with BC? I am hoping I am asking it the right way LOL Tony will be going for Corpsman.
Comment by lj1422 (Josh's mom) on March 8, 2010 at 8:59pm
Hi everyone and Moe My son(Josh) is SHIP 10 DIV 168 and his PIR is April 23rd, I am pretty sure we will be attending the ceremony and we will be coming from Sarasota, Fl. Glad to have another mom the same Div and myself.

Hi Fellow Recruit moms! Our son is on Ship 10, Division 164. Already made our reservations and we're counting the days. And I don't care who knows it, I miss my boy. Thought today about how long it would take to drive to BC just so I could sit outside of the place for an hour to feel close to him and then drive home. Amazing how crazy we moms can be!
Comment by Moe on March 8, 2010 at 8:00pm
HI!
M son will be graduating on April 23rd, found it out today. We will be attending the ceremony, coming from NH to IL.
He is SHIP 10 DIV 168--anyone else here in the same?

Lynne, I was trying to book a flight on Expedia. But, there was no refundable ticket option with them. Who did you book through?
Comment by maussie64 on March 7, 2010 at 11:05pm
209Mikesmom, My husband wanted to drive too. But it's over 2000 miles and my 7th grader can't miss that much school.
After BC and school, we will be able to talk to them, and email and (I hope) text. Technology is amazing and hopefully it will help our kids seem not so far away. We just have to get through the next few months.
