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."

Gloria P. I am so sorry for not congratulating your son on his promotion until now. I don't know how I missed that great picture of his patch: ) And, yeah on him getting to come home next month, too. So much to celebrate in your house!

Thank you for the information Rhonda. I'm anxious to visit there, maybe next year too.

ProudMama, my son is on the Olympia but will be transferring to shore duty some time next year.
We stayed at the Navy Lodge on Ford Island. It was nice, had a small kitchenette and was convenient. Your sailor must be with you to check in the first time though. You might look into the Hale Koa also, as it is a Navy discounted hotel also. It is not far from the beach or shopping.
Congrats to your son Gloria!

Sorry, that question was for Rhonda.
Congratulations to your son Gloria.
missin'mybrowneyedboy, thank you and yes he will be able to be home until June 11th.

Where did you stay when you were there? My son is ET COM and will be on the USS Greeneville. How about your son?

Rhonda8881 so happy for you on your son promotion to PO1st class great news :)

Congratulations to your son, Rhonda! As I have posted before, this is a MUST brag zone! And as others have recently said, it is fantastic that they are recognized and rewarded for all the hard work required to earn such an impressive promotion: ) And ProudMama, congratulations to your son, too. My son graduated in April and I loved being there for that. (Glad the paperwork snafu was resolved.) Hope he gets to come home before reporting. I was really happy to get my kid home for awhile, but he ended up leaving Groton 3 days BEFORE we left the east coast!(We are Washingtonians:) The best to him and you, too and what a year it's been for all of us!
