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."

Yes we will all be there! Not sure where we will be staying yet. Is the Navy Lodge booked for the weekend, or did you just want something different?

I needed 2 rooms and the Residence Inn has a 2/2 with a pull out sofa. I am actually spending less money than if I had to pay for 2 separate rooms. I've heard great things about this hotel and I think it's only 4 miles away. My son is not a mall person on a normal day so after graduation I see him wanting to eat lunch and just hang out and relax.

What rate did they give you? And that's exactly what I'm planning for us too...

I think it's $149. I don't want my son's girlfriend in a room by herself so this room with a kitchenette will be perfect. I plan to stock it with my son's favorite snacks so he can veg out. Let me know if you book a room there.
No letter today, hopefully tomorrow!

My son will be going on to Groton, CT after his PIR date of 3/16. Counting down the days with you! I can't wait to receive his first "real" letter. I will let you know when that happens. (I was hoping it is this week.)

KittyS...I'm with you, waiting for a real letter...UGH!! Hopefully our SRs were able to write letters on Sunday night. I heard that Wednesdays and Thursdays are the best days for mail. I hope tomorrow we both get what we're waiting for---a good mail day!! I think everyone from our division is still "inpatiently" waiting. Have a great night!
