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 am going!
At this point you should have heard from your sailor and filled out a registration form and a medical questionaire. I know that my son could only have one person, not 2, due to the high number of requests. And it has something to do with rank as well.
I haven't gotten any official word since I sent the forms in, just my son telling me I was on the list.
But I can't wait!!! Although I'm a little nervous too.
AND- I just heard the arrival date got moved up 3 days, so that would change the dates of the cruise as well.
I wish I knew officially, as I need to buy plane tickets!

can anyone tell me where the best place to reserve a hotel room in san diego, near the base would be? I have not heard anything about a cruise and am totally clueless as to it or when it is. I also know that my daughter who is on the USS Rushmore told me we had to have a request form filled out by April 8th.. Anyone that can help me out would be great. I need to make reservations asap
Thank you
Navy Mom Terri

Hello Katonia,
I am not planning on going on the Tiger Cruise, as I cannot afford that trip from NC to Hawaii....I will be flying out of NC to San Diego in two weeks, I am flying in for the Homecoming. I booked my flight two weeks ago because the prices kept going up and I was afraid that if I had waited they wouldbe too expensive for me to attend the homecoming. WHere you flying out of?
My child that is on the USS RUSHMORE has not mentioned anything to me as far as dates or anything like that, since it is our understnading they are not allowed to give us that information.

From what I understand, information should be coming out today.
We should get a letter from the ships command with some info, and the rest of the info will come from our sailor.
If you are on Facebook, a lot of good information can be obtained from
FRG Supports USS Rushmore on Facebook.
It is a closed group, and they have to approve you, but they have some info as well.
