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."

Yes!!! I received the form letter today and my daughter will be graduating the same day. It felt so good to get the letter. I'm like you, if it was that awesome getting a form letter, how will I be able to contain myself with a personal letter from her.

Same date for me! Just booked hotel and plane ticket. How about hotel was more expensive than plane ticket!

No way, really? Hown and where did you book everything? And is it refundable? I need advice!

Yes just make sure you get the insurance to make sure you can change the dates if need be. My other son travels a lot with sports so we are members of Marriot so we haven't had any trouble moving reservations around. My worry was with it being a holiday weekend if I waited to long my the prices would be crazy!

I didn't even know it was a holiday weekend! Thank you so much, I was going to wait. I'm booking everything tomorrow!

Anytime! Only reason I know is because it is also my wedding anniversary. We did our wedding around Memorial Day so family could attend and not have to use vacation leave. hope you find great deals!

I had taken a wild guess at when our PIR date would be and saw that it was Memorial Day weekend. I've had a hotel booked since before he left for BC! Yesterday, though, after receiving his form letter and getting confirmation that PIR was 5/26, I got referred to Navy Lodge for lodging. Went there and reserved a room with a kitchen for half of what I had already reserved 6 miles away! I don't think airfare is going to be as easy, though!
