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."

Hi Kenny's mom (what is your first name?)

Nice to meet you!  I can't WAIT to hear from our Sailors!  When do you get to Great Lakes?  Are you going to the Meet & Greet at the Ramada?  Where is your guy going to A school.  Ours is going to Corrie Station to be a CTR -- pPnsacola, FL -- a lot warmer than Great Lakes!  Hope to meet you next week!  (-: Dorri

Thanks for the kind words. It's confirmed his PIR is 4/15.  You can just go to one of the car rental places online and reserve the car. For instance, I tend to use Alamo.    I reserved the car for the time I need it. The only thing I'm trying to figure out is if I need to get insurance or if my insurance covers that rental car.
