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."

Merry Christmas Everyone, I also have a son in Ship 02 DIV 913, we've gotten our form letter and box but nothing else. Just wondering if anyone has received a phone call today?

Remember there are a whole lot of Recruits at the RTC (generally 6000-7000 or more) and it would be very hard to give all of them even 5 minutes at the phone banks on one day. Don't expect a call, but have your phone available and be pleasantly surprised if you do get one. Calls on holidays can come anytime between 8ish am to 8ish pm Central Time.

Hi. My son is ship 02 div 913. His graduation date is 08 Febuary 2013. I have been looking at southwest airlines. If i get a nonrefundable ticket round trip, its about 500.000. Refundable 1000.000. I read one of you checked out Virgin airlines. I should check that. Any hotel deals? I have heard the Navy Lodge and Sarge for the taxi.

If you fly Southwest, you don't have to get refundable tickets. You do need to call 24 hours or more before your flight if you end up needing to change your flight.

Is your SR going to be an HM or MA?

It's nice that you got rooms at the Navy Gateway Inns & Suites. They really do have good rates for dependents and military.
For others who need the contact info:
The Navy Gateway Inns & Suites is located on the main base, about 1.5 miles from RTC. Only those with military IDs can access the base to stay there. http://dodlodging.net or 1-877-NavyBed (1-877-628-9233).
The Navy Lodge is located 1.9 miles off base from RTC and guests of graduation are allowed to stay there. https://reservations.staydod.com/hotelSearch.do?action=View&pro... or 847-689-1485.
Neither has a shuttle if you don't have a car, but they will give you the number to call for one or you can use Sarge.
