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."

Hi Trisha! I am not making any definitley plans for any of the meet and greets. We are driving from Arizona so not sure exactly when we will arrive, I guess will just have to wait and see how the weather treats us!! But I will have internet on my phone and will check in once we get into our Hotel and see what kind of time we have to do anything. Do we have to pre register for the meet and greets? We are staying in Gurnee.

Trish When you get closer to chicago the roads will be clear even if there is snow it is a big city they do a great job at keeping the roads clear.. We northerners are use to the snow and prepare ahead of time for the snow.. Try not to worry about the snow just concentrate and dressing warm for the cold... I am use to the snow and I am praying that we don't get a lot of it!!! Just Easier for everyone traveling if it is clear like now.. I will give you my cell phone number and we can stay in touch

I am going to Sages meet and greet. As they will have information on what you can do if your sailor leave saturday for goes to A school in Great Lakes. There is also a restaurant that will give sailors a free dinner/lunch. There a speakers from the base. The other one is just a meet and greet and get together. This one is giving a little more information to help any one that is lost as to what to do. Hope this helps. I friend went to this one in Nov to her son PIR and love it. Gave her a lot of ideas and helpful hints. Proud mother of Ship 03 Div 055
