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."

Ok so my FB buddies are in rare hilarious form this morning.
My friend posted this on her status: OMG!!! Munky just brought it to my attention that you can purchase CASKETS at walmart.com and they will ship them to your HOME... NO SERIOUSLY!!! I am rolling on the floor over here!!! "The services were wonderful, and what a beautiful casket." "Thank you. We got it at Walmart."
And than she commented that they are rolling back the price on them!!!!
Oy vey, it hit a funny bone and I had to share! Caskets at Wallyworld, hahahaha! They have everything!
