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."

Thanks for the offer Kat, I really appreciate it since I can't go.  However, his dad and step-mom will be there, so they will take pictures and share.  Although, it would be funny to see the look on their faces if a stranger walked up to them and said she was a N4M friend and was taking a picture for his mom!
Haha, and I would do that too.  I don't mind, if I can.  I better dress comfortably that day so I can jump up and down a lot.

Hey where can you buy the coins???

 

 

I got my coins from Northwest Territorial Mint.  www.nwtmint.com

Thanks Sharon!!!

 

I got the coins.  They are nice.  Just a nice rememberance, and heirloom piece too.
Some of you said you'd received your coins in about 5 days.  Was that just the standard shipping, or did you get expedited shipping?  Like always, I waited around and just ordered mine last Thursday.  They said the expected delivery date is 10-3, and I'm sure hoping I don't have to wait that long.  I'm leaving on the 5th, so I'd be a lot less stresed if they came at the end of this week.
Mine was regular shipping.  I try not to pay for expedited shipping if I don't have to.  Hopefully yours will come in time.

Thanks for the info, Kat.  I'm hoping their "expected" delivery date is  a worst-case scenario kind of thing just so I don't start calling them if it's not here in 5 or 6 days.  I'd hate to have it arrive at my home on the day I'm arriving in Charleston!

 

Well, 2 more tests for my son.  Last one is on the 4th.  I am getting there on the 5th.  Can not wait to see him.  Hope all is well with all of your family's.

 

What, your son only has 2 more tests?  MIne has 3 more, one on Tuesday, one of Friday, then comps on the 4th.  I am getting there on the 4th, in the evening.  I can't wait to see him either.  Safe travels to everyone going to graduation.

 

Mine has 3 more also - Tuesday, Friday and comps.  We will be arriving Thursday around noon.
