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."

PAX Maryland- travel from airport
"My daughter is reporting for duty on Oct 3rd. Her flight gets in at 9pm. Does anyone know the best and most economical way for her to get to the base from the airport? She's kind of freaking out because she has to report by midnight."

Has she called the Command/ Quarter Deck to see if the Duty Driver can pick her up? There maybe a Duty Driver available who can pick her up.

Some commands have designated vehicles and drivers to shuttle people around for official reasons. Not every command has one, nor are they always available. But it is always good to check for the option. The drivers are sailors on their duty day, so they may have to do their regular job too. Depends on the size of the command.

She has...she seems to be getting the run around. Command keeps telling her they will call her back with her sponsors number, but no one has called.
