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."

Yeh Fri Roundheads what time?

Roundheads and TGI Fridays are easy to find and good parking. Emmetts has always been my favorite but parking can stink.
My vote Roundheads just because I have never been there and have wanted to try it out. Paula it is your day you pick.
