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."

Lennox Reaper.... Go to Michigan Avenue in down town Chicago. There are millions of shops and really good restaurants. They have a cheese cake factory, there is a Giorodano's and Uno's Pizza. I personally like giorodanos better. There is also a few "fancy" restaurants, One is in the John Hancock building called the Signature Room. Im pretty confident that you will find everything you need for a good day with your SR on and near Michiagn Ave
