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 got a letter yesterday and he said they earned their flag for passing drill inspections and he was really upbeat. Didn't mention battlestations at all. I think if it is when I think it is, then we won't get a call until we are on the way there. I can't believe that we are now officially less than a week away!

What is blue candle light prayer and does anyone know if this is true, I read on navy dads that people with military ids dont count against the 4 guests that can go to graduation. I was looking up the webpage for my sr's dad and saw that.

also if you are staying on base do you still need a parking pass?or if you have a military id do you need a parking pass????

I cannot say for sure, but I would print the parking pass out anyway. Always good to be more than preparred than to be under preparred and cannot get on base.

I missed you earlier and I'm sorry for you and your recruit as well. Hopefully they will be able to challenge it; they should catch this type of thing at MEPS and not this late in the game. My prayers are with you also.
