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."

AlexH - try Southwest out of Hobby into Midway. I LOVE Southwest (no charge for luggage). Also, the Navy Lodge is pretty cheap - but there are several reasonable hotels around. You will want to take the shuttle to and from PIR (even if you have a rental car) - it is MUCH EASIER and FASTER!!!

Any one traveling from Houston to GL for the Aug 5th PIR? One option is to drive, but the trip will take at least 20 hours each way. Any one find good airfare or hotel rates?
