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."

Everything Meet & Greet
I started this discussion so we’re able to keep all our thoughts on our meet and greet in one place.
Please share all your Ideas you have for our meet and greet here
*some groups have made buttons; ribbons; worn different color scarf’s ( to identify who you, your division, and who your Sailor is) PIR 8/13/2010 are buying “sailor hats” and each one is decorating their own, I think (I thought that was a cool idea)
*Also if you could please place your name, your SR's first name and the names of who is attending meet & greet with you here, that would be great as well, even if your not attending, I still want to include you in the list below.
The Ramada provides Hot Hors d'oeuvres, but drinks are not included. Drinks are available, each person will be responsible for their own bar tab. If you are staying at the Ramada you will receive a couple of drink coupons.

As far as I know, Yes. I'm okay with it as long as everyone else is. I'm sure (I know) I've been in a lot of worse places (with my job and all).

My husband ( Mike) and I (Pam) are coming in to see our son Ethan graduate but I'm not sure we'll make it to the meet and greet. Our flight doesn't get in until late afternoon. But if we get everything settled we might drop in.

Sorry I won't be going with you all...... :(
GAH! This SUCKS!
You all are going to have a fantastic time, though. I'm very happy for you all! -

Well I loved the ribbons! I don't think we are going to make it to the meet and greet either. My mom, sister and my hubby and I are all coming for different parts of the country and at different times, but only one of us is renting the car, so not sure when we will have all been collected! If we can get there without stressing everyone out, we will try.

Sorry guys we wont make it, don't think we will get there in time for it.
