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."

nope...don't go buying a backpack, the USN started giving out backpacks to new Sailors. So that would mean your Sailor would end up with two backpacks and they are only allowed one carry on.

Depends on his orders. My son is graduating in two days and he told us he will have all of Friday after graduation to spend with us until he reports back to base, then he leaves for the airport at 2:30 in the morning to head to Texas for "A" school.

My son also graduates Oct 21,2011 and will be leaving for A school in Dam Neck. He told me he will know when just before graduation. My two nephews recently graduated. One had to leave immediately and the other who went to San Diego got to spend the whole weekend with his parents. I have booked my flight and hotel till sunday just in case. I am traveling from Florida. I want every moment I can get with my son.
