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."

The "Friends and Family rates are all prepaid and non cancelable rates, so if you choose to do those rates keep that in mind. Rates will change from time to time as well. Be sure to read the fine print no matter what hotel brand you choose.
I have been out of the loop lately as my mother had a stroke a few weeks ago, she is doing well and regaining some strength.
I would like to just remind all of us to not post dates or locations to protect the ship as well as our Sailors. It is best to private message anything with details.
Our Sailor left this morning at 5am with another Sailor for the long drive east. Hope the weather holds out for them. Wondering what the houses are like they put them up in. Sailor left with no bedding or pillows, said he would figure it out when they got there.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Here is the link for "Friends and Family Rates" at IHG brand hotels. Not all hotels participate and most of the time rates are not available until 90 days before arrival.

Feel free to pass this on to your friends and family as well!!
There is a Holiday Inn Express at Times Square in New York that is not too far from where the ship will be moored. We are going to try to stay there. As it gets closer if there are a lot of people that are needing rooms I can call to see if we can get a block at a good price. I looked at the regular rates .......yikes!!!!

That would be great to have lunch. Also keep in mind that I have access to "Friends and Family Rates" at Intercontinential Hotel Branded Hotels (Intercontinentail, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express and several others). I will post a link closer to time so you can check it out closer to time. We could all stay at the same place and have a great time. If anyone would like the link sooner just let me know, it saves quite a bit if the rates are available.
I know the next 25 days can not go by fast enough for you!
