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."

So just remember to tell them you are booking for Navy Graduation and you should get a nice discount. I believe they are anywhere between $79-$99 per night, depending on the room type. They have suites with kitchenette's available, which is actually nice and would save money on going out to eat all the time. You can get your sailor to take you to the commisary for a few groceries or there is a wal-mart very close by.
