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."

I purchase my non-refundable tickets right before Christmas. For the cost of the refundable tickets I could of bought two regular tickets. It's a gamble, but I thought about how much this ment to my SR, and how hard he actually had to work to get in. I didn't think he would give up easily once he got there.

I based making my reservations on the positive signs in the letters, such as doing well and passing the tests....I feel confident that things are going as scheduled. And with the gas prices rising the flight prices might keep rising as well.
