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."

Shaula: I have reservations at the Candlewood in Waukegan. I ended up booking the non-refundable with Southwest because you can change it to be what you need! And the refundable tickets were just so darn expensive that I couldn't justify spending that much more! Now if only I could find a semi economical way to get to my hotel from the airport!

I am flying in Thursday as well into Midway and am unfortunately not old enough to rent a vehicle. And I fly in at around 8:30 and I don't quite feel brave enough to do the L line or a bus at night by myself! We will see if I find anything! Only time will tell!

I arrive at 8:50 pm. That is such a sweet and generous offer! If only I flew in closer to your time! That is an excellent idea! I will be sure to do that! Did you decide when you are flying home? I was conflicted on what date to leave, so I just chose the 23rd Monday. It's SouthWest so if I need to change I will!
