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 missed what Hotel Shari is at. I can print one off for her too if need be. Thank you SO much for posting the picture of the shirt! WAY cool. I ordered a sweatshirt but she said it won't be here for a while. That's ok tho, it'll still make a great souvenir! Got my ribbons today from La La too, AWESOME!

Several can be printed - so I believe any of us can print extra to bring to the Meet and Greet Thursday night. I will print out a couple more. They have the PIR date - all you will have to fill out is your SR name and Division/Ship info.
