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."

^^^^CARPOOLING WITH SARGE^^^^

This group is for anyone who will be needing a ride between the airports and Great Lakes.  Sarge charges by the car, so the more of you who can share, the cheaper it is for all.

Please post the day you arrive, your arrival time, and the airport you are flying into .  That way, you can connect on rides. Don't think it matters too much if you all are staying at different hotels.  They are all relatively close in distance. 

If someone is renting a car and has room to take some people arriving at the same time, that would be nice too!

I talked to Sarge tonight and he said he could accommodate 6 people. I will only have two.

Add 2 more for my daughter and myself.  Any other takers?  Spomss - You could have Sarge take you and bring you back that way you don't have to drive and cry.  Stay safe - plane leaves early Wed am so I hope the snow has been cleared out.  God willing and the creek don't rise.

I don't know when my son leaves for his A-School, so it difficult to plan seeing him off to the Airport. Traveling so far, is another expense we really couldn't afford, but I wouldn't miss My SR graduation for anything in the world. I just pray for no delays or cancelations on airflights.

2 people arriving Thursday March 7 at 12:45pm Southwest Airlines Flight number 8 Midway go to the following address:
