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."

Hello, congrats! We are flying and it would be great to have the taxi driver info! My son will be a submachine mate but is ultimately wanting to be a seal or eod.

OK. I will get his name for you. He was wonderful, and took care of us the whole time we were there. I am in Midlothian also. Did your son go to school here?

I have a son at Walnut Grove now and a daughter in high school. Have you received your first letter from you son yet? I wrote to my son almost every day and know that they really appreciate the letters. Joining the Navy has been wonderful for my son. He is an oral surgery tech working at the Naval Med Center in Portsmouth, VA but may be deployed in July sometime with the 2nd Marine Division.
The taxi driver is Sarge and his cell is 847-212-0246. He is awesome - one of the nicest people I've ever met. Call him with your flight info and he will meet you at the airport.
My name is Vanessa. If I can help you with anything of if you would like to talk, just let me know.

No I didn't go to A-school graduation. My son was in the last group of corpsman that attended A school at Great Lakes before it was moved to San Antonio. They were busy helping with the move and weren't going to get any free time.
