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."

Got to the Holiday Inn Express to check in, and they let us know the Meet & Greet had been changed.

Comment by LINDEE SR'S MOM on July 14, 2011 at 3:43pm: I think its Denessee not Genessee

Comment by Mikey'sMom on July 14, 2011 at 3:11pm: The meet and greet has been moved from the Ramada to 110 South Genesee St.at the Green Town Tavern. The # to the tavern is 847 275 1635. The Ramada has been without power since Monday. The only just got power about 1 pm.

Comment by LINDEE SR'S MOM on July 14, 2011 at 2:21pm: You can call them for directions. It is supposed to. Be around 2 miles from the base so still close. Someone please post on US Navy FB site as I aMon my phone not my laptop. Thx

Comment by LINDEE SR'S MOM on July 14, 2011 at 2:08pm: We have a new place. Southern Mom booked us @The Green Town Tavern. Address is 110 Denessee St. Wakegan. Phone # 847 275 1635. There is a restaurant and bar. This is not free for us, we will be on our own. We will order and then go to 2nd floor for our Meet and Greet. The mgr said he will be there to help us. The Ramada will post signs at their hotel with this info. Same time 6-8. Hope to c everyone there and please pass the word on to all you know. Thx, Lindee

Comment by diannep on July 14, 2011 at 1:38pm: ...if that works out, post on here too so that the ladies can find the info!

Comment by diannep on July 14, 2011 at 1:21pm: Ok, I have a suggestion on the MeetNGreet. There is a restaurant called Anastasias nearby: 3880 Northpoint Blvd

847-688-1317

Someone (LINDEE???) call them to see their status. They have accommodated MeetNGreets there before. Then, if they can accommodate you, see if the Ramada will pass this info on to those who "show up" or call about the MeetNGreet. Worth a try! And Anastasias will give you a portion of the restaurant...for free....if you call now. See what they can do! Good luck!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 14, 2011 at 1:18pm: Oh man... Everyone PLEASE SEE LINDEE SR'S MOM POST.
RAMADA SAID,
"NO MEET N GREET." Also encouraged her to cancel her reservations.
PLEASE start posting so that maybe you can gather somwhere. Call the RAMADA if you have a room to check your status. I am sure they will give you alternate hotels.
I stayed at the Navy Lodge. $65a night...no tax...2.5mile drive to PIR. Just need SR name and to bring them by at some point to verify. Not familiar with all the hotels. I'll try to start looking...and dianne should be here soon!
There are lots of restaurants near Gurnee Mall.
Be back soon
