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."

ok, here is something that Sue/purple pig said, -she is pretty knowlegable..
is any one of the five guests younger than 12? If so, they do not count toward the four-guest maximum. If not, then what happens is that when everyone checks in at MCPON Hall aka the Visitors Center, those guests on the access list will be allowed to immediately go to the drill hall. The guest not on the list would simply have to wait inside the Visitors Center until 8:15 a.m. at which time they will be allowed into the drill hall on a first-come, first-served basis.

I just noticed that it doesn't say anything about count for under 12 - Kathy, does the grad packet say anything? I know I've seen something about it on this site, so I'll do a search and see what I can find.

Cassie, you should check out Milwaulkee also - I've been told you might be able to get a better rate and it is not very far to drive, about the same as Chicago I think. so far for me it is still cheaper to fly in to Chicago.
Hi Trish :)

Nice to hear about the letters! Thank you for sharing what was said.... something different than what Aaron has said... but I have only recieved the 1 letter so far.

Cassie, I don't think Grad. is on a Tues, but that might be the day he goes to his A school... but I'm just guessing on that. Graduations are usually on Fridays.

Hi Nilsa and Kathy :)
I'm hoping for the Grad packet soon!
who is planning on going to PIR? I think I'll start a discussion above on hotels and such -
