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."

According to some on the list who are 'in the know' the new sailors who graduate on the 5th will also have
liberty on the weekend, 6 and 7, but will have to stand some watches during that time also. I think we are not
allowed back on base after Friday, but he can come to the gate to meet us.

ipeterson55, I am so sorry that your sons letter sounded down. My son is in the same group. He didn't mention about some being sick. He sounded like he is enjoying it. I hope that when your son gets better it will go better for him.
