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."

We are going to visit our SR for Thanksgiving and have adopted his buddy. Ship 09 Div 013. Please post if you have a son in this Ship and Div. I know his name but don't want to post it on here. I am also needing to know of some restaurants that will be serving the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I can't find anything when I search that is appropriate. Thanks

We are also driving from 4 hours away in Indiana to spend THanksgiving with our SR and one other. We found this nearby restaurant that is having a Thanksgiving buffet. It looks like an interesting place. Here is the link
