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."

My son is on ship 12 div 165.  We are looking at staying on base at the Gateway Inn, but also haven't made any reservations yet.  We will be coming from Little Rock, AR.  My son is probably one of the older in the group at age 32.

That is awesome that your son joined the navy

Phone number is 847-792-3746.  I am pretty sure that you have to be military connected to stay here.  My husband is retired military, but it wouldn't hurt to call and ask about a PIR stay.

thank you so much

 

my dad is served in the army during vietnam war, and i have a brother stationed in hawaii in the army, and i have a nephew stationed in ky in the army. so hopefully i can get it at a discount price.

I had thought my son would be the oldest he is 31.  We were teasing him when he left, telling him he would be called dad by the other recruits!  Is your son married ?  Where will he be going for A school ?

Yes, my son is married and will be going to A school at San Diego.  Is your son married?  Guess Shaun will be the "grand dad" at 32!.LOL!

My son is also married.  April 5 will be their 1st anniversary.  His wife is so supportive of him and what he is doing but I know it is hard to be apart on their anniversary.  He will be going to Pensacola for A school

Mine has been married for 3 years.  My husband is retired Air Force, so we were very excited when Shaun made the choice to carry on the military tradition in our family.

Thanks for setting this up Liddia.  We had exchanged posts on the RTC site.
