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."

Hi!! I just saw the TV commercial for this website today, and I loved it!! "Wait till your father hears about this", "be good", "your face will freeze like that".....it was so good! What a great way to revisit those things that we know came out of our mouths, but in a more grown-up, prouder context!

My mental confusion is slowly lifting from my latest "bipolar" episode. I put it in quotation marks because there is truly no word for my affliction/blessing. I was researching the Navy Seals and came across what I believe to have been a Japanese website. In the search bar, I entered NAVY SEALS "EXPLETIVE" and was directed to N4M. Does that clear things up Catherine?

MI. Heh, That is where my team and I are from. We do web work for the Navy (ie... we work on sites like navy.com). This site is actually still in it's testing phase... and we started with the MA area. Hope this helps! cc

To be perfectly honest, it was a fluke. I was looking for something else relating to Navy apparel and gifts and ran across this site. What a great find.
