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."

proudmama - it's my understanding that your son has to do the booking at the Navy Lodge, and that he should do it as far in advance as he possibly can. He should be able to ask them about changing the booking based on graduation dates.
My son passed his boards!! One more flight to go and then those gold wings are all his. Can't wait to see him with those pinned on his chest.

Good morning everyone! Some in this group are being deployed in the very near future. Blue candles for them!
My son is Romeo so it feels like A school just keeps going and going and going....my son's group (squadron?) is to graduate in August. How do you book a hotel room at the Navy lodge when they book up so far in advance? I can book a room now based on my son's projected graduation date, but it is likely to be moved by a week or two...or so I have heard... Any advice?
Salty Ocean- How was your son's graduation? Were you able to book a room fairly easily?
