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."

Hey all - I am a big time sew-er. I was thinking of making 2 flags, about 5x8 with the 2 division number on each to add to our centerpiece. I looked for state flags and did not have any luck. I did find some cool ships that we could incorporate. I also found some cool sparkly spiral stuff in the floral dept that would look cool

If you dont find anything at Toy Store, you might try Hobby Lobby's model dept, of course then it would have to be put together... :/

Yes, if not too much trouble to bring. Another option some are doing is boxing it up and shipping it to the hotel youre staying at (let them know first) :). Whatever is easier for you. Thanks! :)
