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."

Graduation Day

My son will be graduating from OCS May 13, 2011. I'd like to know if there is a limit on the number of family/friends attending graduation.  My son's grandparents are planning on surprising him. Since they are in their 80's; family members are driving them from Connecticut to RI for the event. That will add extra numbers to our group.  Thanks for your help

Mary, there is a page on Facebook for class 10-11.  Just get on Facebook and type in Navy OCS class 10-11 in the search.  Right now the ladies are discussing what they will wear, posting pictures of their dresses, etc and discussing making the Candio boxes and what they are putting in them.  Enjoy being there, its going to be so special!
