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 left 9/25/12, anyone else?
My younger son and I got to watch his older brother swear in at MEPS this morning. What a wonderful experience it was. I am beaming with joy and tears at the same time while awaiting his phone call sometime tonight. I can't wait to hear his voice!

Don't stress out. The form letter is WRONG. I emailed the PAO at the RTC and received the following reply:
Ma'am,
The Thanksgiving graduation will take place on Wednesday, 21 November.
Respectfully,

Email - brian.e.walsh1@navy.milIf you have made reservations, change them so you don't miss PIR! I emailed him to inform him that I know of at least 3 moms who received the form letter with the incorrect date, so I am certain it will be addressed if it hasn't already.

Thanks that eased my mind a bit. I haven't made reservations yet . I've just researched airfare, train fare, etc. Trying to coordinate everything. Its quite overwhelming.

Oh gosh I am waiting for my firm letter for my son who left 9/23, I hope he does not graduate on 11/23 as I have to work and who is going to replace me on thanksgiving, ok I am crying nowo

His PIR date could be 11/16/2012 or 11/21/2012. It all depends on when his division filled. You will just have to wait for the form letter (and if it says 11/23/2102, know that it is wrong and PIR is on Wednesday 21 November).
-
-
yes it says 11/23? and i just told his grandma and aunts that, and am making plans for that date, so its 9/21, that is going to be a big problem at work for me, please help me pray that it is not!
