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."

Isabellamom- I made my plans...flying southwest into midway airport, car rental from car rentals.com ... They were the cheapest, and as for the hotel I've made reservations at 3 hotels but am pretty certain that I'll be staying at Navy Lodge and will cancel the others...for ramada inn and residence inn! Just trying to save a little money ya know with the holidays here and all. My first night with residence inn was 159.00 at navy lodge it's 70.00! I cannot wait to hear from him...dying to know how he's doing!

I haven't started mine yet! I wrote son today & told him I needed to know how much time/if any he wld be spending with us after graduation....don't know how many days I need to get the hotel for.....Anyone else know?

I'm pretty sure since your sons going to San Antonio for A school, you'll have Friday with him right after graduation and most likely he will leave on Saturday for Texas! So as for your travel plans...maybe that will help. I would over book the hotel rather than not book at all, I hear they fill up quick! My sons staying in Great Lakes for A school so were going to fly in on the 9th (just to make sure we don't have any weather related issues)

WOW! I was afraid of that....But now I have tears (crying now) knowing I won;t get much time with him...
: (

Awww don't cry....I'm pretty sure you can go to the airport and stay with him until he leaves. And on a positive note...you'll be able to speak with him and Skype while in A school. So that's much better than boot camp! Chin up...we're gonna make it through this!
