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."

Thank you Angie. I'm not a facebook person at all, but I did go over to look and couldn't see anything regarding what I needed to know, so I'll just keep looking.

Have you talked to your son and asked him to poke around to see if of the other recruits are NOT using all of his 4 guests allocation. Get you 3rd daughter's name on someone's list. Tell your son all his sisters want to see the ceremony.

Yes, I've done that, but it's been a couple of weeks since I've heard from him. Last letter I received from him was on 1/27 and last phone call was 2/3. So, I guess it's a waiting game to see if he's got my letter and did what I asked. You know how sons are with moms. ;)

Oh yes. My son is on a sub. One time I thought he was out on deployment. We hadn't heard from him in ages (no emails, no phone calls). We didn't want to ask his girlfriend - that is verboten. Every time the phone rang, we were afraid that something had happened to the sub. Finally he called. While his dad and I were sweating bullets with worry, he was having a great time in Washington DC taking some special class. We live in the West Coast. I casually mentioned, "Gee, it would've have been nice if you were able to stop in CA to see us and your girlfriend." Dead silence on the other line, then "Oh, she was with me."
So there you have it!
