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."

Mom's Tshirts for our PIR

Here's is a picture of the tshirt we all want to get for our meet and greet. We need to know who is interested in getting these? Need to know how many and what sizes. Need to know by 6pm central time Tuesday so we can get them by Sept 11th. Price will depend on how many we order. The more we order the less they will cost.

Love it!! Count me in if it is around $20.00. I would like a medium if it is pre shrunk. Thanks for all the work on these.

I'd be in for an XL... hope it will shrink a little. If not, my daughter taught me a trick to getting larger shirts to fit. Too afraid to order too small and it won't fit... so ya XL for me...

Good morning. As of 7:30. we have 17 tshirts. Unless otherwise noted. I am going with men's sizes and the last design Mikey's mom had. As for payment, If everyone that ordered will be a Sarge's meet and greet you can pay me there? Not sure if otherwise. If anyone can come up with a solution to this it would be great. Talk to you soon.
