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.

Hi sjricker...I am so curious about what they are doing. I hope we get real letters next week. Don't you all wonder how well they know each other already, and where are all the other Moms, wives & girlfriends. I read on one of the other groups that the RDC called out the names of the kids who had someone on N4M I guess they want to make sure they are not telling us anything they shouldn't. It looks like my son was one of the last into the division, he didn't arrive at GL until Monday 3/21.

decarp how long will your drive from Mass be? We keep tossing out the thought since there will be four of us flying. My husband doesn't want to just because of how long it takes and we will then loose any time on Sunday we might have with our son. Our daughter is in 11th grade and I really don't want her to miss three days of school I am trying to limit it to 2 days. I was looking at Hotels last night where have people been making the reservations for.

We have booked rooms at the Residence Inn, the one bederoom suite option worked well for us. Now trying to check into flights. The hotel attendant recommended flying into Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee a 45 min drive but said the traffic was much easier to deal with. So will be considering that option.
