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."

US Air, are you kidding us?!?
Please read the following Facebook post by Brian Kirby this evening. I can assure you I will not travel US Air and I encourage other military families to consider the event described when making your travel reservations! As a person who has travelled over one million miles in my career, I know there are better choices the flight attendant could have made. This should not be tolerated.
"I cannot believe what I have just witnessed. I am sitting in first class on US Airways flight 1930 from Portland to Charlotte. A heavily decorated Army Ranger asked to have his jacket hung up so it didn't get wrinkled only to be told by the flight attendant that because of US Airways policy that she couldn't hang his coat since he was not a first class passenger. Three of us immediately offered to change seats with him but the proud soldier refused to do so. We pleaded with the attendant to hang his coat but she refused and told us to "take it up with US Airways". Well I certainly will do that and I hope my friends will do so also by sharing this and even assisting me with an email to US Airways. I have already blown up their twitter and will relentlessly attempt to share this story. It's appalling and disgraceful to men and women in uniform. Policy aside, a flight attendant could use a little common sense now and again." - Brian Kirby
