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."

I wish I could help you but im driving.

We're flying from California on Southwest....where are you flying from?

 

Dallas/Fort Worth area so we fly out of DFW
We had enough points for free flights so I'm not sure what it costs, but when we were looking it wasn't bad. I think it was $250-$300 roundtrip for us. We're also flying into Milwaukee, I've read it is much easier than Chicago and the drive is easy as well...
i agree on Milwaukee but my thinking is that if we are going to spend the day at O'Hare waiting for our SR to leave I would rather stay at an airport hotel and leave out of there the next day.  This would also allow me to turn my car in earlier.

That's true....our son was told by his recruiter that his A school will be there at G.L., so he won't be going anywhere. Of course, that could change so we'll just have to see what happens.

 

LOVED getting a call yesterday!!!!! Sounds like our guys are working hard! my son has a cold but is feeling better! also had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled... :o

 1 month to go! YAY!! 

hugs to all!!

I wanted to give everyone a heads-up who ordered ribbons from me to wear to PIR. I am almost finished with all the ribbons for this PIR group that have been paid for and I am shipping them tomorrow and Tuesday. Please let me know what you think of them when they arrive and thanks for allowing me to make them for you. Let me know if you have any questions at all. I hope you all have a great week and get a really good letter and awesome phone call. :-)
