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."

I think most of us are attending Sarge's. From everything I've read, his seems to be the most informative one. There is also one at the Ramada Inn Waukegan, which would be the 3rd one you are talking about. Really don't know much about the one at Flanagan's.
