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."

does anyone know if our SR will be performing on the graduation? my husband gave me a diagram on where i should sit and he (X)'d where the choir will be. my husband is in the choir, where he wants me to sit is on the 2nd level and i thought it would be better to sit on the bottom level so i can get to him quick.

My son said in one of his letters that they would perform in 3 graduations. The 2 previous to theirs and their own. I'm not sure where to sit, but we plan to get there early. I hope this helps. It's been great seeing the pictures of their performance on the facebook page:)

Try to get to the top row, in the middle. Watch the video on 10/15/10 and you will see where they march to. Try to get in that area where they stop. Looks like the best spot for video and pics as well as where you can get the longest look at them. My son is performing, too. He said he does a solo in the end. Can't wait!

How many of you are so excited you can hardly think straight right now? I can't believe we leave for Chicago early tomorrow morning! Can't wait to see our sons, daughters, grandchildren, etc. graduate from boot camp! I have my blue candle lit and am awaiting that wonderful phone call. All I need now is to see our son:) Hope everyone has a good day:)

I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I keep checking and double checking my lists. My electric candle burned all night. My phone is fully charged and I am again carrying it around like a girl waiting on a date to prom! We are planning to go to the meet and greet Thursday night. See you all there!
