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."

The shuttle service I was recommended to was Airport Express. 773-247-1200.

diannep - I called and made reservations with the Marriott reservations desk and that was what I was told. However, I just called to confirm with Lordess with Springhill Suites directly and she said you are correct there is a fee. The shuttle service is performed by an outside company and they have a shuttle leaving at 6:30 and 7:30. It's $6 per person round trip and $3 for the sailor if you bring him/her back to the hotel. Sorry for the misinformation.

Thingamabob, I didn't realize what group I was in, obviously your daughters PIR is the same as our sons. Sometimes I think I am losing my mind, ever since my Son left.
