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."

Overnights are Phase III, my son didnt get his this weekend and he was bummed. But said he will get it by tuesday........ I dont know where the heck he thinks he is going all weekend ? But I think it is just the fact that you got it :) I am under the impression that the buddy rule is in effect, but it makes sence that if your with your family they would be considered your buddy.

Buddy rule is in effect, Nick and his two roommates were going to Walmart (?) to pick up somethings that the NEx did not have but they had to find a 4th person to go along. Apparently trios don't work, buddies = 2 Sailors...not three?!!
I think mentally just knowing they have earned the privledge of staying out all night is more important that actually doing it!!! -
