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."

Greetings.
Kyle graduated BC last weekend. Of the 4 boys sent to bootcamp from our extended family, he is the only one to graduate.
Our family in Indy Northside and the kids are graduates of North Central.
Very glad to meet you all.

Someone else may answer this better, but I know that the motel across from St. Vincent's(86th street)Hospital charges you less if you have a hospital stay or are relatives of this person in the hospital. You usually don't need an advance reservation.
