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."

Comment by AMBurg60 on July 22, 2013 at 9:40am: Here is Sarges number, didn't want to post til I got his permission...

847-212-0246.. Get a hold of him for all your transpotation needs. There are a lot of other taxi services out there but some are not licensed and can be dangerous...

Comment by AMBurg60 on July 22, 2013 at 8:58am: After staying at the Ramada Inn, I certainley would not reccomend it to anyone.. It was dirty, the carpets made my feet black!!!! Needed updates, cracked walls, chipped paint.. But was not clean!!! I did have a great experience with the transportation, If you need taxi or shuttle be sure to e-mail Sarge johnspadaro@att.net or on facebook https://www.facebook.com/taxisarge He even got my son's electronics to the airport for me. The Sailors can't have them until they reach airport to "A" school. My son was leaving from Midway, and I was leaving from O'hare so I was in a pickle. He found a way to get it there. He picked us up and brought us to hotel with no hassle..And very resonable. He also does the meet and greet that you really should attend if you get there Thursday night before PIR. He gives a lot of info on the PIR that is very helpful. You get to meet all the familys, and he puts on a great dinner at no charge. But a donation would be greatly appreciated.. Pass the word Sarge is the Man!!!

Comment by spomss on July 18, 2013 at 12:18pm: AMBurg probs missed you but congrats on your SAILOR and have fun at PIR!

Cody'sMom there are a ton of places to stay-I stayed at the Ramada in March-certainly wasn't the worst place I have ever stayed. Had a shuttle to PIR and free breakfast...

Comment by AMBurg60 on July 17, 2013 at 7:02am: I'm staying at Ramada Inn but I don't recommend it..Hearing a lot of negative things. Most of the Moms are stating at Navy Lodge..

Comment by Cody's Mom Ship11Div343 on July 16, 2013 at 10:02pm: I am checking out hotels now.. Can't reserve yet as I don't have a date. Where are you staying?
