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."

Ok I called the hotel here is the deal...there is a "shuttle"/limo. It is first come first serve. It is $6.50/pp. You can NOT reserve it...I just thought of some more things so I probably will call back.

If your hotel doesn't have a shuttle you can always call sarge he has free shuttles from certain hotels and is very inexpensive from other ones. Instead of renting a car we will be shuttled frim ohare roundtrip for a hundred bucks.

I booked a room at the Red Carpet Inn. I would hope it's okay lol. I saw it on the brochure that he sent me with his form letter. The good thing I liked about it is that it's 1 mile from base, has a shuttle to PIR, free breakfast and was cheap, like $59/night. Could be a total dump but at this point I could care less - I just want to see my sailor!!

I am sure the hotels will all be fine, and if not, hey it's not like you have to live there forever! I will be too excited to spend time with my hubby to nitpick too much on the hotel room!

Thanks for the info. I was looking at roundtrip flights from Phildelphia to O'Hare and they're around $330....I saw Southwest flies into Midway, which would be nice because they're trips are much cheaper. Maybe I'll look into that and just get a rental car...
