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."

My son is in Div 078 and we are trying to decide on a color for PIR. Have any of the other Divisions decided on a color yet? We don't want to take anyone's color.

Hey, Arwen, don't forget the Hall of Fame flag. My son's division got that one and it was quite an honor. And what about the CNO flag?

Flags they carry:
Guidon: black and white flag with thier division number
Division flag: designed by the recruits themselves, often a cartoon representation of the RDCs, or some kind of more traditional militarish symbol, like eagles, death heads, etc.
Academic Flag
Athletic Flag
Ahem.... I used to know the rest.

The only "shuttle service" in Great Lakes that I know if is taxis. I don't know why they call them shuttles, but they do.
Most taxis charge an arm and a leg for trips to the airports, some upward of $85! But I did find one that has guaranteed flat rates for sailors and their families, $65 to Midway, and $38 to O'Hare. I actually kept their card, figuring I will be going back to Chicago for my younger son's PIR someday. Message me and I'll send you the phone number.
It's much cheaper to get there by rail, if slower. She can just get on the Metra UP-N just outside of base, take it downtown, switch to CTA Orange Line, which goes to Midway Airport.

Brenda Sue that is great info. I know everyone here really appreciates it. I hope your son is doing well and loving his Navy career. Tell him I said thank you so much for your service. My daughter is with the fleet now as well although she just had PIR this summer. She is with the Harry S Truman in VA. Thanks again.
