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."

Terry'saproudmom - I thought of that but we live in Kentucky and he is in Washington. It would be a 2-3 day drive plus I just had surgery a week ago and I don't think I could handle the drive. Seeing him...I would LOVE!!!

Angie, Is there a possibility for a family member to drive it there and then fly home. Sounds like it might be cheaper than shipping it and maybe a nice way to spend a little time with him.

Does anyone know of a reputable company that ships automobiles? My son is in Washington and would like for me to send his car when returns from deployment.

Yep just like it, check it out and the prices compaired to those other sights. Was so pleased to find this as the other sights that did offer a "military" discount only offered the max of 15$ off of the round trip ticket. My Son just got back to base and had great flights and good seats too. oh also his bag was free as he was military also. Make sure to tell your Sailors to show their military id so they do not get charge for their bags.
