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 all--I will be flying in to the Chicago area on either the 6th or 7th from West Texas. If any one else is going to be flying in on those days, lets try to meet at the airport and coordinate on rental cars, shuttles, etc.

Hello. I am only 18 years old (therefore I can not rent a car) and I will be traveling alone. I am flying from Spokane WA to the O'Hare airport on Thursday October 7th. I don't land until 8:15 P.M. and I am a little nervous about using public transportaion that late since I will be alone. Anyone else going to be at the O'Hare airport around 8:15 P.M? I would br willing to share a taxi or shuttle to the Great Lakes area. I am staying in The Days Inn located in North Chicago, Illinois. It is like 1 mile from the RTC Base in Great Lakes. If anyone would like to coordinate plans please let me know!
