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."

I enjoyed hosting the Northern Illinois ladies today. Such a wonderful group of ladies! Time to plan the next one. Maybe we could even entice some of our Southern friends to come up North!

Looking for info on the Chicago White Sox Navy night. There was a post and I tried contacting Bill, but only ever can get his voicemail. Anyone have luck contacting Bill? Our sailor will be home from Japan and we would all love to go. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
