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."

Motormom - i am booking this weekend. i think i may checkout the navy lodge. Its close to RTC and inexpensive 65.00/night. And that's good because i need 2 rooms. Oh and sadly no calls so far or letter(: We already booked our flight.

That's funny, that's the same hotel I was thinking I might book. Looks good but I wasn't sure if they had a shuttle for PIR. Price on Orbitz is 109 for two queen.

Last letter we received said they get to call about every two weeks. That would make today the day! Sort of hesitant to run errands today. Last letter he wrote on the 29th and his brother received it on the 3rd. Surprised it made it that soon.Here's hoping we all get a call today.

Spoke to my son about an hour ago. He sounds good! They have long days and alot have had colds including my son but he's better. He said the extra PT is good to keep them in shape. Academic testing is on Tuesday but should be OK. He said it takes a while to get letters. One more month then PIR! Wish we knew how long they'll have for leave. He said 6hrs to a few days. Pray for better weather than they've had lately. We are traveling from New Mexico. His girlfriend from Florida. Would hate to miss it due to travel delays.
