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 may be wrong about this but I think it is at the Ramanda Inn from 6 to 8 pm each Thursday evening before PIR. We may get an invitation to this at a later date. I have found reference to other Meet and Greets under the Events tab.

Hi Jessica, How are you. I love this site. I have found out so many things from other members. Where are you staying for graduation? Where are you traveling from. We are from KY and staying at the Country Inn.

Hi lorraineld, I am from Ohio and staying at Crossland Chicago-Waukegan. I reserved the room from Thursday to Saturday night and am hoping that my husband does not end up being a Grad & Go. That whole idea seems awful.

Hi Jessica, Sound like most of the Grad and Go guys seem to know that is going to happen. We need to find out about the Meet and Greet at the Ramanda. We will not be arriving until 630 or 7 to our hotel. I understand we can take our grad a few things after PIR. We will find out more after we hear from them. I wonder how they are doing and if they will earn a phone call home. Have a good day.

I think we'll be flying in Thursday and leaving Sunday and staying at the Ramada. I'm booking everything now. I'm really missing my husband today. My daughter keeps asking me, 'where's dad?'.
