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."

Let me know if they get the cookies! I was told NOT to send stuff like that! I can't wait to hear if your son and my son are friends! When my son called it was the same thing - I didn't realize that no one says their first name.

The Navy Gateway Inn is on the Main Base about a mile north up the road from RTC. You must have military ID to stay there or have a sponsor who does have muilitary ID. If you don't have military ID you will also need your Sponsor to move around the base freely I believe...so I would double check that if you wish to stay there and that is an issue.
The Navy Lodge is not located on either of the bases. It is about a mile west of RTC in the Housing area. You do not have to have ID to stay there...they will ask you for your Sailors rate and name...you may also use your own military ID if you have it.
I stayed at the Navy Lodge and enjoyed it. It was clean and quiet. No pool etc...but we weren't in the Hotel much...Sailor wanted to go out!
