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."

He is making me a copy so I can show Morgan when she graduates! Her sister wants to video the graduation, to add to the video. Anyone know if this is allowed?

Yes the snow... That worries me a bit, I am a California girl and whenever we go to the mountains, my husband drives. So I am a little worried to be by myself driving in a city I've never been to and have to deal with snow. I guess I should call the rental company and inquire about chains? Anyone have any advice for that one? Please help (:

I think this is a GREAT idea! I only hope the Air Force has one too as my other son ships out on the 28th of Oct. So proud of them but miss my sailor so much!!!! I got the letter and booked my flight but not the hotel or rental car yet. I am flying in from California :-) I can't wait to see him. I read some of the posts and it looks like some of you already know where your loved one will be attending A school. How do I find out where my son will go to A school? Before he left he said he was going to be stationed in San Fancisco Ca. That will dictate my travel plans ESPECIALLY if he gets to attend A school in San Francisco as that is my back yard :-)

@Catabrieece- you could call your sons recruiter, he/she should be able to tell you where he will be attending A school! When my daughter swore in the initial time (end of Jan.) they told her where she would be going after bootcamp for schooling. Hope this helps!

Not to far Bizebt :-) I am in Yuba City :-) I usually fly out of Sac because it is closer but for $400.00 I will take the 2 hour drive so SF :-) Worth it to me especially when I know I have another boot camp graduation at the end of December in Texas :-)
