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."

Chicago is amazing. I hope you get a chance to go downtown Chicago and see Navy Pier and the sights. It is beautiful and so much to do there. It is about a half hour drive. http://www.chicagotraveler.com/things-to-do.htm
If you want to hang out locally, there is a big mall close to the base. It is called Gurnee Mills. Rainforest Cafe & Ruby Tuesdays is there. A very nice Bass Pro Shop is pretty cool to see there.
Also, there is a Free Navy Museum right on base that is awesome. We checked it out this summer and is very awesome!! Halloween event there on: Friday, October 21, 3:00-4:30pm and Saturday, October 22, 1:00pm-3:00pm Decorate your own sailor's white hat and receive a special Halloween treat! All little skippers are encouraged to wear their favorite Halloween costume!

I am so glad I picked the Ramada Inn to stay at - I've never been to Chicago
and we are very anxious to see the city as well as our sailor - can't wait!

i was going to stay at the Ramada but changed to SpringHill Suites. The rooms there are only $119 and are new and really nice. I thought for that little extra $ it would be worth it. And there are all suites and the really nice thing is that the rooms have a seperate shower/sink and another small 1/2 bath. I stayed there over 4th of July so i know it is nice and is pretty close. We did go to the base when we were there and i think it only took us 15 minutes.
