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."

Thank you. It's wonderful to hear from others waiting and worrying. I booked my flights and now seems closer to the end. Hoping letter arrives today or tomorrow. Does anyone have any news on how much time they will have with families. My son says just Friday. Was hoping for more.

My son said he heard just Friday as well. His A school is out of state. I read the same thing on this website somewhere (I start clicking links and end up all over the place-there is so much info!). We are driving and staying at the Navy Lodge. About 8 hours with our sailor does not seem like near enough time, especially when we go to so much trouble to get there!

I think it depends on when they leave for A school. Mine is staying in GL for A school, so I am very thankful we may get to see him over the weekend. I am staying until Monday so that I can spend every available minute with him. We decided to stay at Navy Lodge because of the proximity to base. I wanted to be as close as possible and the price was fantastic! The less time I spend driving to get him and drop him off is more time together! Only 4 more Fridays, and then we will be on our way. I look at it this way... today is January 9th, so in less than 30 days we will celebrating with our families there and it will be fantastic!

Are any of you planning on attending Sarge's Meet and Greet? I know we are ( myself, my sister and my oldest son). I am participating in the basket project as well. Would love to meet some moms from my son's division.

I have not seen it posted in the events as of yet, but I am planning on attending Sarge's Meet and Greet. I did read somewhere, several weeks ago, that he might be on vacation then. If he is, I think will pop over to the Ramada for that one. Just me and my husband going. My girls can't get away.
