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."

It was great parking was easy at the Sacramento California MEPS Make sure everyone over 18 brings their ID and you will walk through security and I total understand that process. We walked in and was greeted my our son and was able to sit with him for a long time. Please try to make it they had 12 Recruits and only 4 had family there. You are able to have about three minutes to talk photos and say goodbye you can also video record them swearing in which we did so others who could not make it saw it later. We gave hugs and just said see you 8 Friday’s from now....hope this helps.
