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."

Car Pooling for PIR
I thought it may be a good idea to start a discussion on Car Pooling from the Airports to Great Lakes area for anyone not renting cars and possibly needing a ride. If you think you may have a seat or 2 available it may save someone some money. Post on here and get to know some of the others.
We may have a couple of seats in the rental car from Milwaukee airport to the Great Lakes area on the 21st. Around noon.

I am flying into Midway thursday 11/21 around 12:30pm chicago time. I am renting a car and then will be driving to the Navy Lodge. If anyone wants a ride let me know. I will be solo, so I will have room for 4 more. I will be returning to midway Sunday morning to drop off the car by 6am as my returning flight home leaves around 8am.

Looks like our car is full now. Our SR, in his letter today, asked if his friend could come and now we have a full car. Hopefully this discussion helps some others save some money.
