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."

Matt's Mom, my son is 18. He joined in the delayed enlistment program last Dec. As of today on Monday we still have not received any letters or calls from him. By what I have read though that is to be expected. We too are writing to him so hopefully he will get our letters.

Hi Matts Mom this is Navy Dads wife. I wanted to let you know we just booked reservations for the graduation in Feb. We have heard that it is best to do it early. So we went ahead. I guess it doesn't really matter where you stay but at the Ramada Inn in Waukegan they have a shuttle that will take you back and forth from the base. We will not have a car while we are there so thought a shuttle sounded good.

We live in Illinois about 300 miles south of Chicago. We are going to take Amtrak there. The weather in Illinois in Feb. can get pretty nasty sometimes. Chicago can have even worse snow and cold there because of the lake.
We have vacationed in Arizona quite a few times in the winter. You may want to pack some of that sun and warmth with you when you head to Chicago!
