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."

It's just going to be me and most likely his brother. His aunt and uncle are going to try to make it up but they have some major things going on right now and are on a fixed income. I'm only working part time (school the other part) so my income is limited too, but I really feel like I need to go so I'm going to put mine on a CC. The "gang" wants to wait, so I'm going to make a reservation for myself and if it changes so be it. I'd rather change my reservation than not have a place to stay. 150$ to fly is going to hurt and the lodging will too, but it'll be worth it.

I agree, I absolutly think you should go :) It is going to be a day you will NEVER for get from everything that everyone says on here. Plus, it is going to be one of the biggest days in your Sailor's life :) $150 for airfare...where do you live? The tickets I was looking at (priceline, orbitz, travelocity, kayak, etc...) were all around $400!!! You must live closer than I do (CA)...

I'm in Maryland. BWI is a hub for AirTran and it flies into Milwaukee VERY cheap. :) $69 each way, non stop.

Yes, indeed, Aunt and Uncle are going to be there! JD is at the TOP of our list and we told everyone they would just have to manage a few days without us because we have our priorities and JD is at the top of our list.
