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."

Graduation and Liberty (+advice)

Well, our girl did it!  and because she was in 923 Division, they carried state flags, honor guard (I think) and one other thing (I can't remember).  Graduation was the most regimented ceremony I have ever attended.  Not your average High School graduation.  I can appreciate all the rules, because there is so much going on and so many family members in attendance.  Our girl and her division did an excellent job.  I was their 3rd graduation by that time, so they had down by then.  She introduced us to her Chief and he was certainly pleasant to us.  We just had an awesome time.  They main  thing  I would recommend is just to enjoy your time with your Sailor while you have them, the time goes by so quickly, not everyone gets the 3 days liberty like ours did.  It was a little hard for her to relax.  Sincerely, only other things I would recommend, everything is pretty close even the hotels that are a little bit farther out.  Make your reservations as soon as you know the graduation date, when you get your FORM Letter.  Don't procrastinate, or you'll have to settle for whats left (we did).  When they say get to the gate early to check in, do so, the seats fill up quickly in the sections for your Sailors detail.  Lastly, just enjoy your time.  Love on them as much as possible.  Write letters during boot camp, they really need the encouragement from home.  God Bless you! and God Bless the Navy!

My son will arrive in Chicago tomorrow 4/26/2016 and I would like to find out the anticipated date for his Pass in Review so I can plan on being in town. Can anyone give me a rough idea on when his Pass in Review will be date wise?
