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 do not have any restaurant preference at all. You all know what is available. What sounds good? Olive Garden? Applebee's? Food court at the mall? (just kidding)

Sounds GREAT! I'm a new mom to the site and looking forward to meeting all you other Navy moms. I think a mid-morning meeting sounds wonderful! You can count me in...already got it on my calender.

If you are looking for breakfast, there is The Egg and I, Cracker Barrel, and the Golden Corral Buffet at the Shiloh exit of I-64. Otherwise lunch begins at 11 most places.

Y'all are quiet this week. How does 11 o'clock at the Olive Garden in Fairview Heights sound? They do reservations for 8 or more, otherwise we just show up. Right now we have 5 and one possible from MO. They do not mind if we sit and visit a while. Any different ideas?????

We would LOVE it! Wear something "navy" like a pin or shirt or such. Or carry a pix of your sailor so we can identify you.
