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."

California as well, I was able to get our tickets for 250.00 each roundtrip, to be honest our son is helping us with money because I just recently went back to work, and my husband is still unemployed but in school for another 6 months so without his help we wouldnt be able to make it either. I am selling items of ours as well as borrowing to get there for Christmas. Probably not the smartest thing to do but I will do anything I can to help our son push thru bc. I hope you find away to make it. Everything I have heard about the grad is awesome. Let me now if there is anything I can do to help ?
