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."

The shuttles are at the hotels, did you rent at a hotel with shuttle service? The times will be posted in the lobby of the hotel. I would go at 6:30 (I did) It is easy, but you also go on the shuttles schedule and have to leave base when they are ready. There is no reserve seating, its on a first come first serve basis. Be sure each person has ID's with them, they will match their names to the names on the list your son gave to them. There are lots of seats in the drill hall. Sorry I cant help with the pizza, but it is very easy to take the train into Chicago for all the choices of a big city. The train station is right next to BC.

hi angie, its terri. thank you for the pizza ideal, i guess chicago style since we will be there.uno's sounds great. my husband is from italy, pizza isn't real big there like the states. we own a pizza, carry-out and grocery&meats store. our pizza are from scratch, have our own cheese-we grate by hand, make home-made sauce and fresh veggies, home-made sausage, also pepperoni. we are more expensive than others but even with resession we have been so very busy. thats why i am disabled, watched children-3 of them daily, then off to work for 8-9 hrs. it torn my back apart because i am small. if you are ever in maryland, look us up (scittino's) in catonsville. my kids are all adults now, girl 27-teacher. naval son-24, and my baby in college-21. there are alot of good women on this site, but thank you for your response. sincerely and God Bless our children
