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."

EZ pass is the best thing to do go to AAA and get it there. used Turnpike Ohio Indiana and it works in Illinois Hated Chicago be prepared for traffic. But PIR is the BEST tolls in chicago are crazy different places and amounts.

hello all!!
karah--im not sure what the tolls were. since we got the E-Z pass, we didn't see what they were. I sure am sorry I cant help with that! have you thought about getting the E-Z pass? we still use ours. you can go on-line and see what the E-Z pass is like. unfortunately, I didn't get to go the meet and greet. we left at 7am and got there about 5pm.
