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."

Shari 03/299 - Be sure to have the car rental agreement with you when you approach the main gate. You will need it to be allowed on base.
Great Lakes is smaller than you would expect for a Navy base. It is on Lake Michigan but there aren't any ships docked there. It is a training base for "A" schools, headquarters & Navy facilities. The only housing on the base is for the top brass. All of the other housing is about 1/2 mile off base.
That being said, there is a very nice beach, movie theatre, restaurant and athletic fields. Be sure to pick up a map at the gate.

The Meet & Greet is for all family members of the sailors who are graduating on 9-9.
It doesn't matter which division your loved one is in, all are welcome to attend!

I ordered a sweatshirt yesterday and she said it would be 3-4 weeks. That's ok, at least I will have one. One of the ladies posted a picture of it and it is WAY COOL.

jennk the shirts are being made by a company called Posideon they print the picture of the flag which the divisions design themselves. I think it might be to late to order now, if you would like a 299 shirt I may have an extra sz lg. and the ribbons are something Lala makes herself you can contact her if you want to order them with your daughters name and division to wear at PIR

"JENNSMOM" is staying there too so I can give them to her at the meet and greet. She can either meet up with you or leave them at the front desk for you I'm sure. Don't panic about it. I think we are all spinning right now. I know I am!
