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 son will be a Seaman starting at the bottom working his way up. He says he will be on a cruiser. Will they sail? Or will he be just docked? Thanks for all the information I will get and I now apologize for so many questions. I just want to know what’s going on.

Jeanne - LOL!!!!!!!
p.s. thanks for the tips on the airports. After I amend a flight for the client in our office today, I'll check these out!
The Booklet? Yup - I'll send it to you for illustrations. I figure if the Nuke can't figure out how to call home once in a great while, he needs pictures to understand!! :)

Thanks Rebecca! Now I know where to start my "cheap" airfare to!! I bet I'll find some good deals at the Boston airport since its so large. On the other hand, I might find discount airlines fly into Portland or Manchester......oh what to do.....!!

Hey ladies. I live in Portsmouth and the only airport that I know of is Pease International Tradeport, the only planes that fly in and out of there are Airforce. All airports Boston,MA, Manchester,NH and Portland, ME are an hour away. I have always flown in and out of Boston airport. It really isn't that difficult to get from there to here. Edwina has flown into the Boston airport. I have heard that the Manchester airport isn't bad either.

what's the name of the airport in Portsmouth?

Did I mention that I'm trying to fly up North and have no clue what airport to fly into? Help!! I was thinking of flying up to see our Nuke Boy - any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
