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."

There are two hotels on base.. One is at Del Mar right by the graduation. I visited for Thanksgving and stayed at the other one. It was very nice and affordable. My son will be graduating in March. I plan to stay at the one at Del Mar.

I actually just moved here a month ago, so I'm not sure. There are a lot of hotels around base. If you call a few places, I'm sure they can give you that info. Sorry! :)

Tx. I need to find that out for myself, either that or hubby is going to have to give me the car or I'll get a rental. I still live at home, not near CP.

Corpsmanwifeschu and Aaronswife quick question my son is graduating in March, do you know of any hotels that offer a shuttle from the airport that are close to Pendelton?
-

Yeah!! I went to pick my husband up and they all look so tired!
-
-
He's sore, but he did it! So good to hear his voice and not have him sound completely exhausted. Told him to go buy some ice cream and get a Redbox to unwind. Wish I could be there to take care of him. I booked my flight for graduation. I'm already getting way too excited!

They are done for the week! I didn't get to talk to him on Wednesday!

I know. My phone is right beside me waiting for the call. At least its only been since Wednesday when I last talked to him. Nothing like waiting for that call from RTC. I'll take waiting two days ;-)
