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."

The ombudsman is a person who keeps in contact with the ship or command and passes on all the information to Family and Friends. Like homecoming information.. Ect. They are also there for support.

Ok I am going to San Diego for homecoming. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas on where to stay that does not cost over $100 a night. I know the closer to the beach the more expensive. I just don't know the area and how far is to far away.
My son told me to check the Navy Lodge, which would be great, but I will be there before him and he has to be there to check in.

Call the Navy Lodge and let them know you are there for your son's homecoming.

I just talked to the Navy Lodge and he has to be with me to check in and only two of the days would be available. I did find a hotel close to the base for less $100 a night.
