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 is also on Ship 09/Div075. We are looking so forward about heading up to GL for PIR. I can't believe how time has flown by. We only have 23 days left. We will stay at the Ramada Inn. My other 2 kiddos will be coming up there with us and they are so excoited about their first plane trip to see their Bubba graduate. My son will leave GL and head to Charleston to start A School. We are so glad that he will be stationed in Charleston for the next two years because Charleston is only 5 hours away from Atlanta.

I was reading things on the RTC website and then watched this video showing sailors talking about the different things they learned in training and I just sat here with tears falling down my cheeks. Jeez...so emotional. Better take a jumbo size box of tissues to PIR.

I'm reposting this to the DIV 075 hoping for answers!
HELP!! I am in such a quandary about what day to book my flights home from graduation. On top of needing two hotel rooms (we have 6 people), which is costly and paying for 6 plane tickets from Maine (I could cry), I don't know whether to stay over again on Saturday night in case he doesn't leave for A school until Sunday or if I'm just wasting an extra $150 for another night at a hotel when he's gone on Saturday.
