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."

Meet and Greet over Dinner 01-19-2012
Cristina had a good idea about all of us getting together for dinner Jan 19 (Thursday before PIR) instead of going to Sarge's Meet and Greet at the Sundance Saloon since there will be drinking there. Cristina and I both have young kids (some of you may also) and don't really want them in that atmosphere. I have been looking around for family friendly restaurants. Here are a few and a link to their Menu. If you are interested in doing this, please leave a comment below and we can figure out which restaurant and what time would be the best for all of us. Also, if you know of another family friendly (no sports bars) restaurants close to the base please leave the name and a link to the Menu in the comments :)

we still have a few weeks to figure it all out. I think the kids would love the rain forest cafe! Sarge's meet and greet starts at 5 so we could all agree to meet for dinner at 7 that way if anyone wants to stop by Sarge's meet and greet they can and still have time to come for dinner. Just a thought. Lets start discussion this more lol.

I think getting together for dinner after the meet and greet would be fun. Cristina our daughter is 16 so that would fun for them to have someone close in age to hangout with too! It would be a lot of fun to meet everyone in person. We are game to get together!:)

I think we should start voting for the restaurant of choice so we can make a reservation. Let's start discussing :) I vote Rainforest cafe say 7:00 - 7:15? What do you guys think?

Yea, I think Rainforest Cafe at that time as well. I believe it has something for everyone's food choices.

I would love to go, but don't get into O'Hare until 4:45pm, so not sure when we will get there...Will do a "Maybe, but sure hope so" for now :)
