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."

Don't know if this will help, but one of my Navy Mom friends has a son who owns several restaurants in the Chicago area--they all have the name Grille something. I can't ask her--her sister was killed last night in a car accident. She's in PA. Her son is Santino Patragas (in case you want to ask for him)--his sister is a sailor on the Roosevelt. Deborah sent me the location of the places:
Oswego
123 Washington Street
Oswego, IL 60543
Saint Charles
3341 West Main Street
St. Charles, IL 60175
Glen Ellyn
411 North Main Street
Glen Ellyn, IL 60137
Westmont
6010 South Cass Avenue
Westmont, IL 60559

Strike your rate--I can't remember exactly, but my son did it. He missed taking the test for MA, so he picked the next closest thing, GM. I think when he picked, that was strike your rate. I have to ask him.
