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."

My son paid for his, but when you go to the graduation afterwards, you can buy some photos of their division taken that day by the navy. the 8x10s are cool have the date of graduation on them and only 8.00 each
My son bought his official navy photo out of his own pay.
