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 website that I sent to MommasHeart was www.sanantonioriverwalk.com. For those of you who come to visit us it has a ton of information about downtown San Antonio.

Mommasheart- I'll send you the link to the other group in a minute. My son phased up fairly quickly, 2nd week there. However, he was able to go off base with family in phase 1, just had to be in uniform and had a curfew.

Oh, I am not finding another group for San Antonio "A" School Sailors. Is there one? I need some Phasing up info.

Hi Queenjailye! Yes, I LOVE the website you referred. It was of great help!!! But between my Sailor skyping me, cutting grass and trying to throw dinner together (which happened at 9:15pm) I was not able to get back to you like I wanted. When I get settled down here at work I would like to message you. Thanks all!!!

MommasHeart-I am so excited for you. Did you find the website okay? Have a great visit! I know you will love it.

Thank you AmyN. I am so excited that I cant wait!!! Being at work today is hard.
Queenjailye: We are leaving Thursday night on a plane and staying until next Thursday, the 14th. So we will have 7 nights and 8 days there. This is just too exciting! My daughter cant wait either. I am trying to find out what the chances of her phasing up to Phase 2 will be by Friday. She will have been there a week by then. Otherwise it will be ON THE BASE with her in the evenings and weekend.

MommasHeart: downtown is so nice. The Riverwalk is beautiful and the Alamo is a neat place to visit. I wanted to go to SeaWorld and the Zoo, but just didn't have the time or money. I found that is was pretty easy to drive into downtown, park and walk whereever you need to go. The Riverwalk has a bunch of good places to eat. I've only been that once, so I'm sure I missed a lot, but I really enjoyed it :) Good luck on your travels.

Hi all. I came to San Antonio from Mississippi back in the beginning of May for my sailor's birthday. It was SO GREAT to see him. San Antonio is a nice place. I agree that everything is very well marked and lots of turn arounds. I actually came with my 17 year old son and have never traveled without my husband. I was a nervous wreck, but I am so proud of myself for making it alone. :) I will say this. There are not really any good hotels close to the base. I got my hotel through Priceline and we were actually about 20-30 minutes away :( I will try and stay a little closer next time. I can't wait to go back!
