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."

Homewood Suites- Lincolnshire, IL
Good afternoon! http://homewoodsuites3.hilton.com/en/hotels/illinois/homewood-suite... Their information is in the MWR brochure which was included with your PIR information. You can reserve a 1 bedroom King suite for $74.00 per night or 1 bedroom, 2 double bed suite for $79.00 per night. All the amenities you can ask for are included with your room included a pull out sofabed. Tell them you're attending the Navy Graduation and provide Corporate Account # 0560017344 for discount. Just spoke to Homewood Suites regarding an area for Navy families unable to attend PIR ceremony, but view the live ceremony from the hotel amongst other Navy families. They have a lounge area with public seating and a big screen television to accommodate a maximum of 30 people. They can roll in a 2nd television for PIR viewing, if needed. If anyone has made reservations with this hotel, and has family members unable to attend the PIR ceremony, was thinking what a perfect way for those unable to attend, but still feel part of the ceremony while viewing it live. Let me know and I can communicate with Homewood Suites. They mentioned we can bring in our own snacks. I have 1 family member who can't attend.

Arrived to hotel after a long flight from CA. Decided I am too tired to attend the Meet and Greet. Cold breakfast items will be out beginning at 0600 hours. Will be leaving after I grab breakfast and off to Navy Graduation. Have a wonderful night and stay at Homewood.
