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."

Is there an Eisenhower coin

GailM - That is a cool coin. He will always remember that day....
glassdog - The t-shirt thing will not happen for the CT's, even though I wished it did. The group that was going to do it found another niche. I also have moved on, I am now co-owner in a company called PIRGifts.com. Originally they asked me to design the boot camp challenge coins since I love challenge coins. Since sailors in boot camp can't earn a challenge coin (ie they don't want them to get big heads), the families buy them for PIR for their sailors. Everyone loved them, so the owner asked me to join his team and become co-owner, which I accepted. They have sooo many other cool things coming out that I wanted to be part of it.
Here are the coins that I have designed so far:
