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 all. Would anyone be able to find me a good inexpensive site that assists you in making a scrapbook/photo album with your photos? I want to make something for my sailor that's currently deployed. 

Any help is appreciated. :)

I've been involved with Heads at Ease, sewing and shipping pillowcases to our deployed troops.

Recently I opened and Etsy store and all proceeds to towads the pillowcases and care packages I send.

Here is the link to my Etsy store

http://https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/TheBirdalicious/coupons

I sell vintage jewelry and collectibles, as well as handmade cat toys. I'm hoping to add more handmade items very soon.

Anyone that uses coupon code N4MFREE will receive free shipping for their entire order.

I occasionally run a special 24-hour sale, where I offer 10% off all items. I usually don't advertise those sales. The coupon code will be shown in the header of my Etsy store. So I encourage people to check my store on a regular basis, in order for them to be able to take advantage of those sales.

To see where my proceeds are used, visit me on Facebook at Adopt-A-Pillowcase for a Soldier.

Thanks,

Birdie
