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."

Ok Mama's.........here is how it played out......and I am not finished yet! With love.....my husband has said "DO NOT PISS THE SQUAW OFF!!" Sooooo..........after a great deal of consideration and prep for the "C" school, we choose Days Inn in Saint George, UT.......we live on the western slope in Colorado. Upon arriving, our son was REFUSED the right to check in because he is NOT 21!!! On the booking.com website it does not say you must be 21 to get a room in "UTAH". Ok, you can legally get married at 18, vote at 18, and......enlist to SERVE OUR COUNTY @ 18......but God forbid you need a roon at Days Inn being under 21!!!! UGLY!!!! For anyone traveling through Utah......be very, very careful......not so military friendly!!! However, may I say a HUGE gracious THANK YOU to the The Chalet.......they allowed our son a room and gave him a military discount!!!!! To the Chalet.......you will never know the relief you provided us with........THANK YOU! I encourage every Mama to pay very CLOSE attention when sending your Sailor off to his next duty station. Have a super terrific day.........and always remember.....as my co-workers have said..............."hell hath no furry like a mother scorned"!

This happened to our son as he was going from one duty station to another as well!
He was 19 (less than a month from turning 20), had his orders, a credit card, and a debit card (both more than able to pay for the room), and wanted a room for one night.
The Comfort Inn refused him a room! We found out about it after the fact, and he had gotten a room elsewhere, but I have contacted Comfort Inn about it, as has several other military families I know, and none of us will stay there again, or suggest them to any other military member (or their family) that we know.

By the way, Days Inn and Comfort Inn are owned by the same chain!
