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."

Another question... my son said 809 is going for "Hall of Fame." Does anyone know excatly what that is? Again, probably a veteran mom can shed light. Just maybe a newbie mom will know if their son has explained it to them. Sounds exciting though. I hope they are successful!

Does anybody know about how long before PIR, do we get the phone call that our son is a salior? it seems to be getting down to the wire, to make all the final arrangements. To arrive there with no worries about weather and making a few stops along the way we have to leave on the 25th. I am hopeing not to take off, and then have something happen and he doesn't graduate and we drive all the way there. not that I have any reason to think he wont pass, it just is a little nerve racking waiting to hear that all is passed and good to go.... please tell me we will know before then!?
Also no phone call yet......, Bummer!

Good idea old lady. They have no idea whats going on in the world these days and most of them will be happy just seeing beyond the base. My son told me that when they were marching they could see the parking lot with families picking up and dropping off PIR weekend. He couldnt wait for his turn.
Once they get to BUDs the communication will get scarce again. Some of the moms use a happy face or heart text at the end of the day.

No, I haven't. But it is my understanding that we are not supposed to post dates like that.
