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."

We reserved it with a credit card ( my visa check card) but the funds are not taken til check in. My daughter does competitive dance and we need to book hotels months in advance. Helps that they dont charge until check in. Now, if you dont check in and do not let them know by 6pm the day of check in that you wont be arriving, they can charge you one day. Most places we have stayed use this policy.
So, where are your SR going to A school? Mine in Ct for Sub school.

I got two letters in the mail today!!! One was for my daughter (oldest daughter) and one addressed to the family. He sounds like he is doing good. I want to ask if anyone here is related to the young man my son said he had become friends with, but I am not sure if I should post names.
