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 was wondering if there are any great steak/seafood places near the base - without having to go into Chicago - we don't know the area and would probably get lost - i just want to relax with our boy and let him chill on his cell phone for awhile before Liberty is over for the evening...thanks in advance & Southern Blessings, Cindy

This past week has been full of many emotions...from being sad and crying to my heart being filled up with pride. I wonder what he did today and the day before and the day before. I read that they had 5…
