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 am getting excited now. I have purchased our air line tickets, made reservations at the villas, reserved a spot for the dog at the kennel and made arrangements for my other kids that weekend. My son is excited too for us to visit and making plans to show us the town. Just under 3 months to go.

We are staying at the villas also (#503). I have reservations at a Bed & Breakfast for the Tuesday & Wednesday night , then we move to the villas on Thursday. Thursday night I'm cooking chili and tamales at my son's request. Said he was tired of trying to explain to friends what tamales were so we are going to show them! And you Texas mom's NO I'm not going to make tamales there, I'll bring them frozen and warm them up.

By the way, I learned this little factoid the other day. Since they had 2 weeks of Christmas stand down during Power, they now have a week less to learn everything, which also means that they have to learn everything just that much faster. I just have no idea why they couldn't just make graduation a week later...

Doing good. Very pumped up for this school. Has anyone heard that they will be given leave after graduation? Heard some "wisps of info" on this but my son has not confimed anything. (I guess because I never remember to ask him :))
