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."

I don't know where everyone is staying --but we made reservations at the RCI about a mile away. It was suggested to take the shuttle over--they inspect every vehicle that enters and it is time consuming.
I believe my daughter is Grad/Go and we hope to find out her flight details early enough so we can go the airport and sit with her before she flys out. This way I can give her back her cell phone and be able to stay in touch through this next process!
Time for bed--with cell phone & phone in hand! Reminds me of my on call days! Night all!
