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."

A letter came today addressed to my other teenage son who has mailed ZERO letters. I have mailed two and got no letter! Oh Well :) Was glad to hear from him, even via his brother. The date on the letter was March 11 and he said they were SUPER BUSY with no free time, but he was getting the hang of it and seemed to be doing OK. It was good to hear something!

PC Mom, as a student in hotel management, I definitely recommend making your reservations directly with the hotel. Most hotels will match rates that you've found on Travelocity or Expedia. Plus, usually you receive more benefits when booking directly :)

I would go ahead and reserve the number of rooms you may need. Then if you don't need one just cancel it before you go. We had 2 rooms and decided we could live with one room and save the money. So when we got there we told them we would only need one of the rooms. They said that was fine, canceled it, and there was no fee at all. They are used to people having to change their plans up there so they are very accommodating.
