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."

Both... Finally got in at the springhill waukegan/gunree. I called them the first time and they were full at the navy rate. so I called the navy lodge.. I was little fustrated with them.. I tried to book the room with a kitchenette and the lady told me I had to book a regular room and if the other was available on check in I could upgrade then.. I didnt want tot take that chance so I didnt book with them.. i was looking for a mini suite or suite, with two queen beds and kitchenette.. Now I'm trying to decided whether to try the drive or fly... If we fly car rental ( picking up @ airport) is 275.00 from thursday-sun..that's with hertz and with my corporate discount.. I really need to know if my son will be flying out on sat or sun after graduation, that information will help greatly, if he leaves on saturday, then we can too...

Hello,
I'm from Houston TX. My son is in Ship 02 DIV919. Try ACE Rental Car from the PIR brochure. I found a SUV for 179 for the weekend. Use promo code GF. Theu are not located in the airport; however, they are nearby and will pickup from the airport. Once we drove to New York and it was an extremely long drive. I think we will fly. We are planning to leave on 03/15/12. We've booked at the Residence Inn by Mariott. I checked Springhill suites, but they don't have the 2bdrm 2 bath with a full kitchen. I figured my son would like to lounge around and he will probably want me to cook too. He's a southern boy. lol
