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."

Where Should We Stay?

We are flying in to Milwaukee...where would be the best/closest place to stay?  We are considering the Comfort Inn in Waukegan as it has a free shuttle to and from the graduation.  Would this be a good option?

Fran Jim, What div? Several of us are staying at the Ramada in Waukegan and taking the free shuttle to PIR. We got a room for i think, 80 a night. But we have double queen size beds so it can be less. We are also having a meet and greet that night in the hotel. Everyone is welcome but if you stay at the hotel you get free apps and two drinks.

We are div 50 :)  That would be great to meet some of the other parents, spouses, etc...I'm assuming I should book a room fairly soon?
