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."

Maybe it got lost in the mail or thrown out with junk mail. I got mine 2-3 weeks ago. It is small and not very fancy.

Hi Betsy,
My sons an EM and our invitation was mailed on June 1st. It could have easily gotten lost in the mail. The ceremony is at 9:00 a.m. and it states civilian dress is informal. I know my son had problems getting mail . We finally had him get a post office box for his mail and he hasn't had any problem since then.

Did the navy send you the invitation or did he come from your son? If it is the latter, that would explain a lot. If he is suppose to send it we will proably never get it,hahha. Only 18 more days before graduation!!

Betsy,
The invitation came from the Navy. The return address is from the commanding officer of the Nuclear Power Training Center Command. I think the sailors had to give them addresses on who to send the invitations to.
