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."

Reading the posts after battle stations, it seems that first phone call comes with the request to have a really good meal after graduation.

One of our fellow moms - just pointed out they have White Castles in Chicago!! Do you think this might be considered a "really good meal" for our new sailors?!!

Seriously, we live in the South and it is a treat to go up north and have a White Castle! But what I'm really looking for is recommendations for eating out that weekend.

I hear Chicago Pizza is a must try...any others?

Boy - this forum is definitely for a bunch of Mom's who have NO LIFE - beyond what is going on in N4M's!!!!!
And to think I used to waste my time doing puzzles and playing solitare!
Last year I won 100 games of Spider solitare with three suites - meaning I probably played thousands of games - this year - NEVER PLAY!!!!
Its been ages since I have - I've actually spent more time reading over the last year. I certainly haven't spent it house cleaning!
As I frequently point out to my husband!
Ohhhhhh - I used to be really good at games and puzzles and then my son joined the Navy and then I found Navy for Moms and then...it's a complicated web!
