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."

Congrats on the form letter!! Was it nice to see his handwriting?? I'm going to die, i just know it!!! (in a good way! lol)
By the way, Annette's son in in 338.... Maybe 338 and 339 will be brother divisions and the boys will end up knowing each other after all :)

I reserved my hotel at the Homewood suites...if we all stay there ,we can have a mini party there :)
-
-
Well at least we all have the same PIR date, We can all meet there :)
I am in Cali with you Janeen just further south...my hubbys sister is near you :)

I'm going to book at Homewood Suites too... even though it will just be me, I would like to have somewhere nice to hang out during his liberty if he just wants "down time"...
What are you all doing as far as transportation? I'm not sure yet... I don't know if I want to rent a car, I'm pretty nervous about driving around Chicago by myself. But I've heard that the cabs are outrageous... I wonder if Homewood Suites has a shuttle to PIR... I'm going to look into it before I decide.
