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."

Nate's mom- That would be great! Thanks for the offer. How long has your son been deployed?

He's on the Eisenhower currently deployed ...keep me posted and maybe we can have coffee sometime prior to your son leaving

Nate's Mom- I do not know yet. He is not leaving for basic training until May 7th so we will have to wait a while to find out. Does your son have a ship already?

My youngest and oldest sons traded a virtual baton yesterday, as they were both in a European town, one on his way home and a last port before heading west and the other on his way to meet his ship at sea in the Gulf, they got to exchange a few texts and a phone call as one was at the airport and one the port, their first deployments PIR was 10/11 and 6/12

Saleens - Just to clarify. I've stayed in Great Lakes a bunch of times, I like the cleanness and closeness of the Navy Lodge. This Navy Lodge (ie Great Lakes) is the only one where you don't need your sailor there to book it. You book it yourself and you need to book it early. They go quick. I would say to book it as soon as you read this. You can always cancel it.

Woo-hoo for the USS Arizona! You'll see be over at the 11/30 pir group since I'm a group admin over there.
