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."

My husband heard from some other dads that battle stations is a day or two before graduation. I am not sure if that is correct information though. In my sons last letter he mentioned that they had taken their pictures and "they would be on the website soon", but doesn't say what website! Does anyone know about a website where the pictures might be?

today is almost over and is over for some of you so we are at 6 days til graduation. It has happened so fast I can't believe it's almost here. I'm sending our Sailors extra good vibes this week for that last push. All fingers, toes, eyes, legs, arms and everything else is crossed that they do well and sail through easy (yes pun intended lol)
