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."

Colleen I will check them out also. Milwaukee seems to be more expensive out of Philadelphia but I am holding off booking airline unless I can find a good rate that I can change the dates in case anything with PIR changes

Hi,
We are in Mass and our son is in the same ship and division. Its kind of weird becuase when he swore in at MEPS on the 3/17 he was the only one. We are going to drive as well. Are you going to drive straight through? I can't decide what we should do.

Hi ZsMom, we have not made the transportation decision yet. We are outside of Philadelphia our drive would be similar to yours but I do have our hotel reservations.

New here.... my son is also in 07/170 - I am struggling a little with Grad travel plans.....my understanding is that they won't know their travel day to A school until close to graduation but I need to book flights from California. So I don't know if I should book to come back home on SA or SU. It is much cheaper on SA.
I’d hate to spend an extra $300 for all of us to find out we have to twiddle our thumbs in Chicago by ourselves if we don’t get to see him for Sunday….. But I would hate to go all that way and miss out on a whole day we could have had with him if we plan to leave SA and he is available on SU off. Not sure what to do....anyone more clued in than I am on this info ? I truly appreciate it !!

If he's doing his A School at Great Lakes you should be able to see him both days as I understand it; however, if he is going else where for A School, he will be flying out on Saturday. I hope that helps. Hopefully he will give you more information in his letters... :)

OH...good to know. He is going to Pensacola, FL for A school...but I had never read or heard anything sayin they would fly out on SA...I thought they would not find that out until right before Graduation...that he could fly out on Grad day or up to 1 week after. - Thank you, I think we will go ahead and book to leave on SA and save some money while we are at it....I found some pretty decently priced tickets so I don't want to wait too long to book and chance losing them.
