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."

For the military rate, you have to call SW on voice, I forgot to mention.

Thank you for this info! I didn't realize that there were military rates on Southwest! Good to know!

We use Southwest; $258 each way for military, and you get a credit if you cannot use the ticket and no extra change-of-ticket fee, plus two check-through bags for free. Military fares go fast, so book as soon as you have dates. I bought tickets from Orlando to Monterey to surprise my sailor in March for 151.00 each way; two stops, but, quite a savings!

My PIR group had one. It's cool.
