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."

Did you get your first call when she arrived? I haven't gotten my second one yet - and unfortunately I missed my first arrival call. I don't think we'll get our second call till the 4th week or so. There's no guarantees! Hang in there.

As of right now, where is everyone staying?? I booked a room at the Days Inn Great Lakes through Hotels.com, but I am not sure if they have a shuttle to PIR or not. We will have our car, but I didn't want to have to bring it onto the base unless we really needed to.

We are at the same hotel! I was wondering the same thing about the shuttle. I was going to call the hotel when I got home. When I find out I will let you know. I wanted to shuttle to the PIR then just go back to the hotel after and work from there. Is your SR leaving for A school or staying in Great Lakes? Well I guess you dont know that yet. Are you excited? I know I am!

OK, good, at least I will have someone else at the same place! I was beginning to think I picked the wrong hotel! As far as I know, my husband will be staying in Great Lakes for A School, he's going to be an ET. Let me know what you find out about the shuttle, that would be great! I am so excited, I can't wait to see him and all of his new sailor buddies!! :)
