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."

Yogi - check your messages. You are from my home stomping grounds and I know another recruit from your area. He joined the Navy with a buddy, and I'm wondering if it is your husband.

Hi, my son is on Ship 07 Div 102 and will be going to South Carolina for A school. We're from Southern California and will be flying in. I haven't made hotel reservations yet because I don't know how much time we'll have with him or whether I can get away without a rental car. Any advice would be appreciated. The Ramada Inn sounds nice and says it has a shuttle to PIR for an additional fee. Does anyone know what that fee is?

DebbieinCA, I think most of the shuttle fees are $3 per person each way.

We're planning to stay at Springhill Suites in Waukegan Gurnee. We means me, Sean's dad = my ex-husband, Jim, and his girlfriend, Cheryl...separate rooms, but we will be sharing a rental car. Yes, miraculously, we get along that well. Our divorce was peaceful and a long time ago.
