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."

Mama5r...the challenge coin is something you can get your new Sailor for graduating bootcamp! You can get what ship they are on. One of many to collect for them! I got mine on e-bay for about $25 with the box. I found the link thru a friend on my facebook.
