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."

Also when I go out to his graduation from BC for his birthday, Christmas, and graduation present I was going to buy a bunch of stuff wrap it in his own little suitcase and just give him the whole suitcase will he be able to take it to A-School ? I'm going to be flying out on Thursday and coming back Sunday and his graduation is the Friday and he also wants his phone so will he be able to have the suitcase and his phone to take when he flies wherever it is his A School is !? :)

I know that you will be able to take his laptop and cell phone but not much else. If you get on the grad day forum you will see what you are able to take him...i just read that you should take a toothbrush and clothes for him, if he is able to have stay overs at your hotel. I read that some recruits have "Grad n Go's" which means they ship out directly after graduation and the only time you have with them is at graduation and then at the airport......that would suck! I hope that is not the case for you or me! Where are you from? We live in Pennsylvania and will fly out for the week. I have made hotel reservations and hope the weather will cooperate with our travels......take care, PJ

Hi J&D! my son is in the same Ship and Div. I have not received a letter from him beside the grad date....I really would like to hear something...In the letter is stated to watch your mail on Wednesdays because they are only allowed to write and mail letters on Sundays, but I haven't received anything yet. I know Christopher is ok, I just miss him so much....I can't wait for graduation! I feel your frustration and pain......let me know if you hear from your bf.....take care, PJ
