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."

Good Morning! PIR is just a little over 2 weeks away for this group! Your SRs are finishing up final tests soon and getting ready to start BattleStations, which some divisions will do later next week, the rest during PIR week. You are almost there!

By the way, we also stayed at Residence....when we checked in back in early 2010, they gave us lots of printed info on things to do in the area/restaurants, etc....

kim: There is a Buffalo Wings place next to the Walmart in that shopping center (close to Residence). We ate there....my sailor liked it because there were lots of A School sailors there and he was able to talk to some of them. Casual but fun!

Rainforest Café is in the Gurnee Mall. Here is the link for the Gurnee Mall directory and info.
We didn't eat there but walked around in it.
The Gurnee Mall is huge! It is in the shape of a "Z". There are not a lot of entrances in the middle of it though so mind where you park. It can take forever to walk all the way across the darn thing.
They have an ice rink and a Merry Go Round. Movie Theatres as well. I don't think those had an entrance directly from the Mall, can't remember. It's probably better to park right outside them anyways because of the distances.
