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."

YAY Navy Week is coming to Chattanooga! It is attached to Riverbend, a music festival, get drunk, fireworks, expensive week long h*ll raising event. We don't usually go, but I know my younger boys would love seeing the Leap Frogs!
How would I get involved in helping out that week?

You may have already found this, but at the bottom of the Chattanooga Navy Week page (www.navyweek.org/chattanooga2011) is the contact info for the coordinator: glenn.sircy@navyweek.org.
The Leap Frogs often ask for young voulenteers to help them roll up their parachutes after the jump and answer questions, so you can look for that if you attend one of their events.

I did contact the coordinator. He said he would touch base with me again following the holidays! Thanks! My kids would be in heaven if they got to help out, even if was rolling up parachutes!:)

My husband and son is in the Civil Air Patrol in the Dallas Texas area. My daughter is in her last two weeks of Navy boot camp. It would be nice to have the cadets come and see what you have to offer, and to learn about other branches of the military.
