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."

I haven't made my hotel arrangements yet - wanted to see what others are doing first. I have my flights booked. I think I would like to go to the Thursday evening social event at Falnnigans. Is the Residence Inn close to base with a shuttle?

Spoke to my SR today, we were supposed to get calls on Christmas Eve, but their compartment took a hit on inspection so they lost the privilege :(.
On a fun note, the whole group received letters and cards from my school! Or at least 069 did, she was going to try to get more out to 070. Apparently well received. Hope your SR's got one of them.....

Ducky - that's great news about the letters. I have not received a call from my SR today...:-( I assume that means he won't be calling me this time around.

I also sent letters and cards from my classroom...my son did not say if he received them......on a lighter note....our SR's are half way through BC !!!!
