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."

Ohh ohkayy (: See I wasn't sure if he'd be allowed to stay in a hotel with me. I thought maybe he'd have to go sleep somewhere else. Good to know I'll be able to have him for the night! I was worried about that.

Oh no he can't stay the night with you. But he can go back to your hotel during the day. Sorry for the confusion

Oh and you're allowed to do pretty much whatever within the distance zone. Resturants sight see museums whatever. There's also the Navy pier.

If his A school is at Great Lakes, he will have to go over to the training side and check in, this can take several hours. If his A school is elsewhere, there is a good chance he will have to fly out Saturday morning.
They do have a curfew, Great Lakes no longer allows them to stay out overnight on PIR weekend. That policy changed in March. Get him back early, even a few seconds means he could lose the rest of his liberty. Bad enough, they can get everyone's liberty cancelled if they break the rules.
The Navy place? You mean on base. The rules apply to all times, in all public places. He worked hard to earn the right to wear that uniform and represent us all. You will find yourself being proud of him, and will be honored to be showing respect by not violating the PDA rules. But yeah, it sucks. Don't get him in trouble, there are senior sailors all over the Great Lakes area, and even if they are not in uniform, or his boss specifically, they may correct his behavior.
Two months. You're training for deployment.

Alrightt thanks. I definitely don't want to be getting him into trouble that's why I was asking for the rules (:
It's good to know I'll at least have all day with him even though it would've been nice to have the night as well.
