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."

ALL: When you talk to your SR after BS21 you may want to ask them what they would like you to take for the backpack if you do plan on going to the airport. Forgot to say the backpack can't have any logo's or fancy sticthing. They have them for sale at the NEX. Someone told me in our group they found them at the local Army/Navy surplus store.
