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."

This is from the M & G EVENT on this site (I provided the link to it above.).
If you need reasonable transportation to and from the airports - please visit my website at Http://www.mynavytaxi.com/ or call me at 847-212-0246. We are licensed, bonded, and insured. We also provide local transportation and late night runs to the airport to see your sailor off to A-School.
I know it says "airports" but Sarge has a team of drivers and I am sure that he can get you set up for transportation. OR you could also ask on your Division Discussion as well as the main wall of the Group if any other of the other MEMBERS will be staying there and can offer you a ride. Great way to connect too :-)
