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."

I will try to make it to the Meet N Greet. I am flying into Ohare in the morning with my Mother. She wanted to try o see some of the Chicago sites before we headed over to Waukegan Comfort Inn. We are flying back the evening of 9-1-11. I still don't know if my daughter is a "Grad and Go", and I have to fly back home to get back to my three other children. Has anyone else heard anything about orders (Grad and Go)?

Jenelle- Did you get the brochure with your kids form letter, there is a list of hotels on it. It does not say if they are pet friendly but I am sure a couple would be and it lists if they have shuttle service to PIR? I wish we could take my son's dog but she a beagle and would just howl if we left her. She don't like to be left alone. Well good luck with the dog.

I'll try Spring HIll Suites....I'd leave her home, but, I'm driving up for the PIR 9/1 and than driving on to Colorado for 3 weeks, my husband can by no means look after her. She has show dog quality hair and needs to be brushed every day....
yikes again. So, I'll call all hotels in the area. Maybe the Ramada will make an exception when they see her size and I'll pay an extra fee for "sanitation" as other hotels charge!
Any more suggestions from anyone?
Night all....Tomorrow is going to be a great day, I just feel it. :)

Jennelle: OMG...two kids in? Sorry I didn't catch this before. Remember it is healing and cleansing to cry...noone understands a mother's love like a mother...it is really ok. I missed my son calling home tonight, was I sad! I wish I could help with your dog...sorry. You could try SpringHill SUites.

I have to travel with my 8 pound dog.....I asked the Ramada if they take dogs and only if it's a service dog...can anyone get her in as a service DOG? (he he ha ha)....don't think so....so, anyone know of dog friendly hotels....other than Motel 6?
Sorry, ladies, I'm losing my mind. Just got off with my son(PIR 9/1), first call, and than I just got a tear jerker letter from my daughter (PIR 8/12)....both made me CRY! I'm quite frankly LOSING it today. Hey, tomorrows another day.
Thanks in advance for any input on the DOG.
