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."

Incognito Mom, I am also staying at the Ramada Inn, there are several places to stay that are close by and most even have a shuttle service. Other than the Ramada there is Comfort Inn, Courtyard, Days Inn, La Quinta, Quality Inn and several others. You should have a brochure that came with your form letter showing several choices. You can make reservations now and in most cases they can be canceled up to the day of arrival with no charge to your credit card. You can also stay at the Navy Lodge for only $65 a night, just tell them you have a child graduating from boot camp. I think you have to wait until 30 days prior to check in date to make the reservation and they don't have a pool but it is on base. If you have any more questions send me a message and I will see if I can help.

Btw July 22nd is my daughters 20th Bday, so (if she gets to graduate on time) we'll have LOTS to celebrate!

Okay so what I need is to find a hotel not far from where the graduation is being held. Can someone post a link and help me manuver this? I may or may not try to stay at the Ramada. But I am a little worried about available rooms in the immediate area. I am not sure how many I'll bring with me. Could be only 2 or up to 5 with my 11 year old son being the 5th wheel. My daughter is on Ship 10 Div 251.
