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 received a letter yesterday and one today. He made a journal of all that was going on with him during the last 12 days. Very informative. I guess the food is good and nobody including him can march well in this division. Well, practice makes perfect and I guess they will get plenty of practice. Overall, he sounds good and is doing well. I am in Central Florida, so I can imagine everyone will be getting a letter soon. He said he called me 3 times with no answer, so I was really needing these letters. I know everyone else was getting a phone call and there was no luck here. Y'all were blessed to receive the phone calls.

Thanks babblemom for the link I will keep checking. I did notice on one of the comments that someone was asking about extra seating. My son Conor's gf will be coming out but myself, his dad, sister and brother are using the four tickets. Do you think it is possible to get an extra one? How would I go about obtaining one.

My boyfriends name is Conor! lol and he graduates the same day. :)

You are very welcome! I asked that same question and from what I have learned is that the 4 seats are guaranteed only and if others want to come, they will have to wait and see if there are any seats empty or available once everyone has been seated. I have 5 extra people wanting to come and I have explained to them there is no guarantee they will watch the ceremony but at least they will get to see him on liberty. Just make sure the whole group that wants to attend graduation are together while entering the gate because they will have to be with the ones on the list. Doesn't hurt to try. Good luck and I hope to meet you while attending. We will be taking our fifth wheel and staying on the naval base.
Hope this helps,
Lisa
