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 son is in this class too and I'm so grateful that graduation is during the summer when I don't have to work. Thanks to the moms for posting A-school graduation pictures because I spotted my son in one of them. If anyone else has photo's I'd really appreciate if you could post them. I know the parents who couldn't attend really appreciate it when they spot their child. Thanks so much!! :)

Yay! Amanda, by that pic, I guess everything went smooth. Details! Details please!
I am so jealous of all you ladies that don't have to work over the Summer. I went to put in for the long weekend off only to find someone already requested that time off. Our office policy is only 1 person off at a time. I am begging and pleading now to get it off. Wish me luck! I must be there! I can't miss it!

Glad they let you off Cindy or I might have suggested you had to call in sick. And you would not have been faking because you would have been sick missing it.
