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."

Ramada in Waukeegan is the one used for M&G. It is very nice, I've been there. I was not able to attend M&G so I cannot speak for that, but there is a pool, breakfast, and all of that.

We are staying at the Ramada Inn in Waukegan, Il. I just received a special online promo via email for 50% off room rate for participating hotels, which the Ramda Inn in Waukegan just happens to be. So, if anyone would like to receive this email to receive 50% off their room rate post your email address and I will forward you the email. Originally, the graduation rate was $83.00 a night for two queen beds, four people and now it is $47.50.

They use calling cards. It will come up as 847 area code, unknown, or restricted. Any of those could be them. They can honestly call at whatever time, but usually anytime after noon or 1 pm Central time is when most calls get made.
They usually call until around 8 or 9 sometimes. There's not really a specific set up for calls. But sometimes there is. Ours came in division order.
From lowest DIV number to highest DIV number. They usually did 2/3 divisions a day. Thats just how ours was though.
