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."

It's been a year but i paid 128 Miami to O'hare. Sometimes if you fly to MIdway the rates are cheaper. Cheap tickets is a great website. I've found they give you the best info. Also bing is a good site.

HI Janie! HI Springfire - I'm in palm beach county. Susan, I agree. my son has been in for a year, getting ready to deploy and my daughter left for boot camp this past Monday. You'd think having been thru it once already would help....but it doesnt seem to be. One day at a time......
