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."

^^^^^ Carpooling to GL from the airports ^^^^
For those who are not renting cars, you may want to try and get together to share one of Sarge's cabs from the airport. He charges by "the car" so that will save all of you money. He will pick up from all 3 of the area airports: Chicago OHare, Chicago Midway, and Milwaukee.
Please post the following info so you can connect with one another:
Date and time of arrival
Airport
How many people in your party
You can tell Sarge that you would like to carpool with others as he sometimes can connect people also.

Hello NAVY family,
I will using AMTRAK, arriving on 03272013 to Union Station at 1400 hours, I am taking the Metra to GL, but I think I will need to call Sarge to arrange for pick up there. It seems I will be about a 1 1/2 miles from the NAVY Lodge, on the west side of RT with "some" luggage :)
