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."

We (4 of us) arrive at Midway on Thurs. 12/20 at 12:35AM (we fly out of Cali on Wed 12/19 at 4:30pm). I have already made arrangements with Sarge for shuttle service to our hotel - La Quinta Inn on Northridge in Gurnee. If anyone else would like to ride along let me know - the more the merrier!

When I called Sarge to schedule a pickup he asked if I would be interested in car pooling, and of course I said yes...But just in case, we are arriving at O'Hare at 4:00 pm Wednesday the 19th...( I hope, they are already talking about a big snow storm hitting the Boston area next Tues & Weds)

I will be arriving on Wed 19th at 9:15 am and have reserved Sarge. If anyone will be arriving around that time and would like to share a ride with him, please let me know. I will be staying @ Holiday Inn Express in Waukegan. I am leaving BHM at approx. 7:00 am. I sure hope the weather will hold out for all of the loved ones to arrive SAFELY AND ON TIME. My family will be driving up on Thursday 20th.
I suppose it would be in all of our best interest, to say a prayer or two for all the families arriving for graduation. :)

My son's girlfriend is flying into Midway on Thursday, too. Not exactly sure of the time, but it's early afternoon, from Phoenix. She is staying with us at your hotel. It would be fantastic if she could ride with you. We'll pay her share.

I have set up a shuttle scheduled through the Sarge to pick me up and take me to my hotel Extended Stay America on Northridge Drive in Gurnee.
