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."

Arriving 2/6 for this awesome trip to see our sailor PIR. a bit confused about car rental v. Shuttle options; is it just simpler to rent a car? We fly in to Midway but don't know which airport he flies out of.
