OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

That is so nice. I have too .my mother and our daughter are coming with me. His parents will fly in later that weekend. So where are you staying? I am so ready for this to be over!
But I know this is just the start of things to come. I am glad you replied to the disscussion. I was beginning to wonder if I had a sailor in a div. by himself lol. I am looking forward to talking to you -

Staying at Residence Inn. They offer breakfast buffet and it's less than 4miles from the base. They have a studio w/ queen bed and queen sofa sleeper, fully equipped kitchen. We got 2 rooms. Check out their site. We like all Marriott run hotels as they have a no smoking policy.

We are traveling from San Diego to Chicago Midway. Googled the direction and hopefully the weather will be good as our flight arrives at 10:30pm. Where are you coming from? Do you already know where your husband's going for A school?

We are flying from Wichita Ks to Chicago O'hare. My husband will be in CT. for A school and since it's over 20 weeks I will be able to go with him. Which is good news!

Hi Hlwolter, My son's girlfriend got a call from him last week and he said that he's not a grad and go and has liberty until March 9. I am glad we can spend some time with him, but had I known he'll be off this long, we would have stayed until Tues. or Wednesday morning. His girlfriend has school so she needs to be back and me and my husband are booked to fly back to Missouri. Hope you're getting calls and lots of letters. We are getting excited as well.

Yes I am getting excited! I am getting lots of letters but no recent calls which I was hoping for! I am scared he is a grad and go . I have been talking to some other people on here who have a sailor in the same jod field and they are all leaving Saturday which just breaks my heart.

My boyfriend wrote and told me the division has earned their scholastic flag, drill flag, star flag (for inspections), and athletic flag! Yay for this division! He says their moral is up but now they talk all the time and get in trouble. :/

That's great news for division916. My son told me that there's a lot of talkative recruits in this division. My son told me in his letter that he's carrying a state flag during PIR and will be doing so for the 2 PIR's before theirs. 2 more weeks and we get to see them.
