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."

Hi tide fan: in response were from CA and will be flying in weds 11/20.
Anyone from Chicago? Someone indicated since weather can be unreliable at that time were best to allow an extra day for any flight delays. My husband and two other kids have never been to Chicago so any input on things we can do or see is appreciated.☺ -

What is the Flanagan's dinner? I've only heard of Sarge's meet & greet. That may be something you might be interested in. Look it up on the right side of your screen on the main navyformoms site. There will be an events page and you just click on our given PIR date for Sarge's Meet & Greet, then you can choose to rsvp there or not. It is free and I've seen a ton of people that are going to be doing that. I know we will be doing that.

Its the dinner that takes place the day of graduation after 3 pm. I got the phone cards and I'm going to mail them in the morning. I also heard from his friend who just graduated in August that they (Navy) deducts money from their account for a phone card.
Anywho....go night!
