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."

Mothers and others.......here is the link for a friends and family discount rate for IHG hotels.
wwwihgfriendsandfamily.com/yhhblgu
It is cheaper if you stay in Jersey but you need to make sure that you are close to the train station.
A few of us are staying at Hotel Indigo in Rahway, NJ train station directly across the street from hotel. $17.50 roundtrip to the city. Friends and family rate right now is $105 per night still cheaper than the city even with the train.
Train runs from very early morning until past midnight.
This link can be used for any date any where in the USA. Feel free to use it whenever you like and pass it on as well.

Yankee Mom: It is about 13 hours we live in Indiana , for the three of us it was to much to fly. It was going to be about 950.00, we can drive for about 300.00 round trip and that is renting a car. My one daughter want's to come so she really can't afford to much,my other daughter would love to come but she is expecting and the trip would be to much on her.
Debbie: that would be great thanks, all of you are so kind, I know my son will be with a lot of good Sailors .
