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."

Some hotels don't have a shuttle service so make sure before you book but the shuttle is like a taxi service...you can just call a taxi.
Corolyn...join your PIR group...there alot of your questions will be answered, it will be a great place for support as well. Many N4M's feel more "connected" with their rct when they get info on their group, esp from the same division

Hi moms, dont know what happen i had to connect with the group. But any whooo is there going to be a meet -n- greet and if so where will that take place?
-

Thanks momof5. where have you made reservations to stay @ trying to find some place close to stay near navel base.
-

You can do the meet and greet anywhere you want to...just ask the hotel you are staying at if they will do something for you all. The Ramda is getto, hole in the wall place (where they put the meet and greet) and anyone can get into the event, not just the N4M's so you can have anyone from the hotel walking in taking your stuff.
