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."

Would we stay in the area or would be go somewhere else? I would pick just cocktails and just some appetizers if we are staying in the area other wise it will be hard to get everyone to sit together if we go to a restaurant. Just my opinion.
