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."

Congratulations on that! It must have been wonderful to at least hear some news from the gf.

You know what's funny? I went to the PIR information page listed below, and there is a discussion about Grad N Go. A note from March says what I said (GnG means staying at GL for A school, and they were trying to correct everyone who used the term incorrectly), but they just changed it again (this is from yesterday):
U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command: It's an obsolete term. It used to refer to recruits who flew out of state for A School within hours of graduation. Then it referred only to those recruits staying in Great Lakes for A School. Now it doesn't mean anything.

Yes, I have my hotel reservations, and we are driving! We've driven to Chicago before; it's only moderately awful to drive. ;)

Yay Flyersnut -- if he is staying in GL, you should be able to spend a lot of time with him next weekend. I am so HAPPY for you!

Oh god some people get on a power trip. They like to scare you. I'll for sure have to check thing out better as I was going by what I did/happened 3 yrs ago. Hmm,guess that won't work. See you young-ins can teach us old folks a thing.
Have you made the hotel reservations? If Kyle gets out as "planned" that's 4th of July weekend. Now flights will be expensive and hotels may be an issue. I may have to start earlier than i should.

I don't remember exactly, Someone from RTC posted on a couple of the groups a while back. He/she was very adamant about the proper terminology -- Grad and Go vs. Saturday Departure -- even telling us that if our SRs used the phrases incorrectly, we should find out who told them that!

Wow have procedures changed. 3yrs ago Ryan was a grad n go and he did just that. Went directly to the airport. We even got a packet of info. So now all you get is a password to download a parking pass. Where did you get that info from Helen (grad n go?)
