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."

Ok, thanks Michelle I will be calling if I need you. LOL Can't wait! Oh, what I plan on doing is getting some index cards and I was going to put my name and address and phone # on it with my sons name and his job and where he is located now, I thought that would be good to really get to know one another, I have several other groups also but once I get to know you I will not need the cards anymore.

Lovemysailor, thank you so much, that was really nice of you. I went over the directions with my hubby and I am going to take route 83 to 75th street to Lemont Rd and it should be right there. How will you go?
Michelle thanks for the directions but I am going to try route 83.
Mary I loved your story. LOL I am glad you came home in one piece.
I can't wait to see everyone again, I was thinking maybe this time we could exchange phone #'s and address, just a thought.
-
-
LOL you did a good job Paula! It will be a lot of fun, can't wait to catch up.
-

Well Paula when you have this many people you have to pick a place and time and that is the way it goes.
Laura how are you doing?
Annie, do I have a driving partner???
Michelle I left you an IM on your page.
-
-
Mary, way to go to your son, that is so wonderful, BRAVO ZULU!!!!
Well I like dinner I like breakfast, and I like lunch so no problem with me. LOL
-
-
LOL Annie, we did good going to Oak Brook!!!! Now we can go anywhere!!! Paula you are probably right about making reservations unless we meet around 3 or 4, just a thought.

Debbie, I will keep your grandson in my thoughts and prays. Christ is a very good place for him to be. Michael that is a wonderful name. Congrats on being a Grandmother, I hope to be one, one day.
Well I hope Annie is going we are driving partners. We are both very bad with direction even tho I did get us to Oak Brook she was no help at all. LOL Pizza sounds good to me, Where has Annie been.
Michelle hello, I would say something in Chicago Ridge or Orland those are places I know how to get too. LOL But I am ready to venture out. When we pick a place I need an address or just name so I can look it up.

The 30th works for me. I don't know what is really in the middle if we are going to do this month maybe we are just have to go around someones house each month, unless Oak Brook is good but somewhere cheaper to eat. LOL I am with Michelle I like with.

lovemysailor, thanks I hope she is doing ok, I am glad she is almost done with her divorce, I know it is not ez for her, tell her I am thinking about her.
The 30th is better for me, I am having Christmas with my side of the family on the 23 and preparing food on the 22. But if that is the date you pick that is ok, I will make in next time.
Julie, I do not know of any place she can park her car, I wish I could help you.
Hope everyone is doing fine?
Where is the next meeting place for food!!!
