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."

We will be at the Red Carpet Inn. Arrive Wed, leave Mon. I'll be wearing my ribbon and probably change my profile pic closer to PIR to one of me so we can recognize each other.

Thanks for the help. I just read them too. I was a little worried, but then I don't think my son is going to care where he can hang out with us as long as he is out of the RDC's control for a few minutes. LOL. He is ship 13 Division 324 and seems to be hanging in there.

We ended up changing because for about the same price, we go a suite with a sofa and kitchette, indoor pool and hot breakfast. Just hope the kids are not grad n go so they can enjoy it.

I am changing my room reservations. The homewood suites ends up to be $79.00 / night for a 2 room suite- one bedroom with two double beds and a room with a living and kitchen area, full fridge. indoor pool looks nice. two bedroom suite has king, then 2 dbls, 2 baths and the living/ kichen area for 149.00 a night. I used the corporate code on the flyer we got with the form letter. Only downside is there is no shuttle.
Original plans for Red Carpet Inn would have cost the same, no fridge, no sofa to sit on, hair dryer as available. -

We are staying at the Spring Hill Suites. They gave us discount for our son being in the military.

I originally booked the Ramada...for the M&G and shuttle. But, I have not heard good reviews, and started to panic! I stayed in a SpringHill Suites last month in VA....very impressed. I booked the one in GL's last nite. And, I found out that all N4M's can attend the M&G, and you can sign-up for the shuttle at SHS when you check in. I still have the Ramada reservation, need to cancel incase another family needs it!
