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."

Is Navy Week in Chicago going to take place at Navy Pier or Waukegan? I checked the link and it looks like there will be events at both locations. When is the schedule going to be final?

@Lisa, we hope to have a rough schedule of events soon. There will be activities and events downtown, and also, Naval Station Great Lakes (located just south of Waukegan) is celebrating its 100th anniversary! Visit www.navyweek.org for the latest information on Chicago and all 2011 Navy Weeks.

Our number is 901 874 7050. Anytime would be fine but you're more likely to get in touch with someone between the hours of 1330 and 1630 (130 pm - 430 pm) Central Standard Time. Here is a news story that was done recently announcing the release of Calendar for America. Navy Weeks are included in that calendar.
