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."

Hi everyone!!! When will our Sailors know if they will be staying the weekend with their parents after graduation or will they be leaving the next day to A school. My son is going to San Antonio for school, but we have no idea if they are going straight over there or spending some time with us after graduation. Thank you

Welcome Steelers. My son is also going to San Antonio for A School. I'd also love to find out how much time we're going to have with him and what airport he will be flying out of. Unfortunately, from all I've read so far on N4M's, we may not find out until they tell us at the PIR.

Wow not until we see him them on Dec 2nd? Kind of not makes it fair. We are flying in and took some extra time off work to have as much time as possible and they "might" just fly out the next day.. I wish we really knew. What is your Son going to San Antonio for. What career did he choose.

Steelers, this is exciting, I just realized you're in San Diego! My son entered in San Diego too! His Dad lives in San Diego and my husband and I are a little further north in the Los Angeles area. My son is going to SA for Hospital Corpsman.

Ladies - I received my confirmation from my order for the divisional t- shirts and I replied back asking if they could tell me what it looked like. I actually asked them to send me a pic of it. Ha ha. Here is the reply I got. It describes what the design is. This is what the 015 division flag will look like so we will know our groups of sailors when they march out for PIR!!
Unfortunately, I cannot send you a picture until after PIR. The Navy doesn't like me to share. It's a tradition for the flags to be unveiled on graduation day and not before. I can describe it for you though: orange-red octupus holding an anchor with a banner in the front with the 3 RDCs' names on it. It's pretty cool. Should look great on a shirt. -
