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."

Since we are driving from the Twin Cities, MN I doubt that we will make it. I'm praying for nice weather for everyone's travel.

We're at the Quality Inn in Waukegan, too. Would the shuttle work for my mom, with her recent knee replacement?

I think Midway is less crowded, at least when we ever have to go to Chicago. I don't know the distance from GL though. carol

We received the Grad Packet today, also. I think the snail mail adds to the slowness of getting their letters. Keep your thoughts positive. carol

Janet,
Sorry you haven't received your call. Doesn't seem fair that each division is treated so differently. I got Anthony's grad pack today and he is not a grad and go. So happy about that, I know he was worried he might be, so that will make him very happy.
Kathy, so sorry for the problem you son is having. Hope and pray things work our for him and he gets to go back.

I just got off the phone with my son. Finally he could call. He confirmed that if all goes well Nov. 21 is PIR. Stuff should arrive soon. It was good to talk, yet a thousand things rush through your mind to tell him and ask him, and only a few come up. He sounded good and was content. It's a great night. Hang in there all of you. We've only gotten 1 letter and now the call. You will get one too!

Janet,
Yeah, me too. I am thinking it would be the first one, because it is just marked uniform. The others seem to have a purpose. Too bad, I loved the blues, oh well!

Also, there is a list on the left of the page that takes you to pictures of all of them.
