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."

Haha Thanks! I'm behind him all the way! I'm very proud of him for this. You know I really dont know. The only place I have flown to twice has been Colorado and my sister works for Frontier so I had just gotten tickets from her. But I'm a AAA member so for a round trip non-stop its going to cost me about $274 on United. This will be my 3rd time flying.

Kathy- if you look on google a type in Navy Boot Camp Graduation Hotels or something of the sort, their will be a lit of websites that have hotels near the base with the PIR discount. But just to let you know some of them are booking fast. Im staying at the Navy Lodge and thats $65 a night tax free!
Hi Marybeth!!!! I know how your feeling also. I make sure my phone is with me all the time either in my pocket or right next to me..haha. And I'm always looking in the mail box just for a letter...as crazy as that sounds.
