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."

There is also a large mall in Gurnee that includes a pro bass shop (for the navy dads). We are going to have a group of 12 up there, so i am trying to think of stuff to entertain everyone with. I asked my son what he wants to do and just as i expected, his reply was "whatever everyone wants to do." Just like him. He is so versitile. Bring warm clothes, Ladies...we are in for a cold weekend!
Stay warm during your storm also, Lorraine!!
