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."

Graduation Gifts
Does anyone have good ideas for graduation gifts. What can they have or what would he need in A school that would be a great gift. My mom is asking me and I have no ideas! My son is going to nuke school. Is there something he will need for that?

You should be able to go to O'Hare to sit with him. Especially if your flight leaves that day, too.

I'm looking at the rate coins, did anyone get theirs engraved? If so, what did you get engraved on it?

I only engraved one that I got him that was for my dad. I ordered one that was what he was when he was in the Navy and engraved it with his name and ship on the back. It looked really good. I considered buying another one knowing that he is going to be an ET now, but I didnt. i was thinking about putting his name, and PIR date. Not sure yet.

I bought the one for his ship the USS Chicago. I just had his name engraved with the PIR date. This would be a souvenior for his time at basic training. I also got the one for the Recruit Training command. That one is pretty cool with the anchor, etc.

Does anyone know if we could keep trying to get the CAC reader from the website and then ship it to our SR @ A school?
Sounds like it is something worth having. Any ideas?
