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."

No letter yet. I got the form letter a week ago. I hate waiting! I just want to know if my son's ok. I also want to know if its safe to buy the airline tickets. We booked the hotel near the base. Hopefully we will hear something from them soon. Also, I'm hoping that no news is good news. Theres only 5 weeks left. Hopefully it will go by fast.
I guess I'm trying to stay hopefull. Have faith! -

I think we are all at the same point. We have received our box and the form letter, but no personal letter. Keep up posted ladies! As soon as you get a phone call or letter, please post, so we can share in your joy.

Thank you for starting this Marylou...much appreciated. Have you found out if our recruits have an early am graduation? Seems from what little I've found, it's early but, don'tknow if times vary?

From my understanding... all of the ship09 divisions graduate together and always early in the morning. I have read that signage will be put up so that we will know where we can sit to get a good view of our loved ones and their divisions. That's all I can tell you so far. I will keep you updated.

Thanks Marylou,
I was just reading about G&G...Grad andGO...There are some recruits that leave for A school right after Graduation. If you are able to get Flt.# and other info, families can get permission to be with them at the airport and give them cell phones and laptops to take with them.
Sure hope we get to spend more time than just the airport -
