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."

My husband's graduation is Sept. 7th. I wanted to fly to Chicago and stay in a hotel close by. But his mom (who i love) was going to ask their family if we could stay with them even though they live an hour and a half away! After missing him for so long, I just wanna stay as close as possible and spend as much time together as we can in two days. Plus I dont wanna drive if i have the money to fly. She's going to let me know if they are going or not in the next week or so but I wanna book a room now because i heard they go fast! Is it mean of me to go ahead and but a plane ticket and book a room for myself? I mean of course we'll meet up! I just want to have my plans figured out. ADVICE

Yeah I know. He's only been in for a week and three days so he still has alot of time.

They should understand that, as his wife, you have needs and so does he. They cannot expect you to stay with them when you could be WITH him. I would not worry about it. I am willing to bet that he would side with you on this one. 

Thank you!

Not mean at all! I am trying to find a way to get some alone time with my sailor as well b/c my mom in law will be traveling with me to PIR
