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."

Attention!!! Attention!!!
Anyone visiting Great Lakes tryout this new bus services, "Navy Tour Chicago". Every Friday & Saturday it makes round-trips from Great Lakes to Chicago. We can now explore Chicago after graduation and enjoy the city’s attractions without the hassle!
From site...
"Navy Tour Chicago is the most cost-efficient method for Great Lakes visitors to explore Chicago. Why drive, deal with finding your way through Chicago, and spend $20 just to park? Dont spend $60 on a one-way taxi, or become prisoner to the tracks of the train. Our 1-day pass provides passengers with transportation to Chicago from one side of the city to the other. " (www.navytourchicago.com)
Check it out! :)
