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."

Looking to talk to Moms on there way to see their Sailor.I will not get to meet any of the moms or dads.
I am coming in late and leaving early the day after. If you have any recommendation on fun places to take my sailor those few hours to enjoy his company, I will appreciate any feed back.
I work a ton and do not have a lot of time to research.
I just cant wait to spend those few hours with him.
Thanks for being here i have read a ton of good info from everyone..

I really think that our boys (or girls) will just be appreciative of our time together with the pressure finally off of them. We are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn - Lake Forest Mettawa, which is a little farther away. There are 4 of us, but we're renting a nice big car. Klynn, if you're traveling by yourself, you are more than welcome to hang with us. A group is always safer.
We are also coming in late on Thursday night (his sister has to work a full day), and we're leaving later on Saturday because I have to get my butt from Delaware up to NYC on Sunday for work! So, no Meet & Greet Thursday night. :-(

Division 48 was adopted by North Point Church. Facebook page is facebook.com/northoint.org. They are uploading pictures throughout the day. They have access to the internet and phone. Our son has called several times today. They had breakfast at the base and then again at the church. They were to have a big dinner at 2:00. They will be back at the base by 8:00 P.M. Enjoying movies and downtown in general.
