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."

So thrilled to hear that my son is a Sailor!!!!!!!

yeah!!!!!!

 

They havent gotten to sleep yet! This is the proudest day for me! Iam so proud of them as a group! I want to know they all made it!

me too...i just replied to your post on the other page....my son says he flies out Saturday just after midnight...yet im seeing the other FLA peeps leaving Sunday..im so confused...lol!!!!

id love to have that time at the airport that ive read about...

I have a stupid question but my son thought that I was crazy renting a car. He thought I just just take a cab to and from airport and he says he will have transportation back on to base at night??? Is that true. He thinks we would have no trouble riding buses from the hotel for eating. I have no idea??? I would loooove to not have to drive a rental to save almost two hundred dollars and I would loooove to not have to drive in chicago because I get lost in the mall in my home town which is very small! I have no sense of direction at all, I get lost in a wet paper bag. I also have panic attacks driving on the interstates at home which are nothing compared to Chicago I'm sure. HELP!! What should I do??
I think not knowing bus schedules and such I would rent the car. Maybe one of the vet moms know. I know not much help.
On the main page lots of people have been recommending "Sarge" and have posted his number a few times.
Ive also seen stuff about a train that runs from the city.
Other than the VetMoms the PIR Reference page has great information.:)
Plane,Train,Automobile...:) I look forward to seeing everyone at the meet and greet.
Gotta run...we fly out in a couple hours!

Ill post from the Hotel!!!
:)
