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."

what is the name of the website exactly? I am looking at flights but really want to stay with southwest. I already booked a room at the same place I stayed last year when I travelled to GL for the weekend of my oldest son's PIR. This time I will either fly into Midway or Milwaukee so I can stick with southwest airlines. I will fly out of Las Vegas. Is your SR going to be staying at GL for A school?

Yes my son didn't mail me the letter he told me he didn't do it when I spoke to him, He forgot my new address even though I gave it to him I heard I won't need a parking pass code if we take a taxi in? I hope he put my name on the guest list! We still need to book the hotel. I am excited too. I will see you soon!

yes my son is ship 13 div 181. He just needs to tell you the gate pass code if you are driving to PIR, You may need it driving or not to get on base I am not sure. Also he can only put 4 people on the list and he is the only one that can change the list. So make sure it's who you want it to be. Looking forward to meeting everyone..My travel is all booked.
