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."

Welcome to Your Division!  I hope you will be able to attend the Meet and Greet.  Just to make it fun I hope you will take a little time and design a simple flag to represent your division at the Meet and Greet that will be used to designate your divisional table.  While we will all meet together as a PIR group it will help you find each other as a division as well!  Show your creativity!!   Each division will have some individual issues because each division will be unique.  I hope you find this discussion helpful and fun!!

Thanks for letting me know Alice. I just had heard or been told that. I'm glad you let me know. So I won't do anything like that. Look forward to meeting you.
sunnydg, I only meant to put that my boys not a corpsman in once! LOL! i must be a little nutty today.
I think I fit into that category as well. It's been a day and a half for me. Hang in there. We will all group together and be fine once this bootcamp deal is over.
By the way, if you have any ideas. Please share them with me.
well if you dont want it to droop down so that its design cant be seen youll have to maybe make it more like a scroll or banner mabe? with(STICKS) on both sides? yeah im no help im not creative! navy colors are gold and blue right? I know im not making since...sorry
My boy is not a corpsman
Not all the guys in 364 are Corpsman they have various jobs...I thought I would bring styrofoam half rounds to put the flags in because I am driving in and it would be easier than those folks who are making the flags and are flying in...other than that the sky is the limit...and ummm I know nothing about sewing...glue gun crafter here...so sorry...lol
Can you give me an idea of how big. Are they supposed to fit on a table? Do you have pictures of previous ones? I'm getting some great ideas, but I don't want to do something weird...which is normal for me. LOL
This idea came out of my head...so there are no pictures of previous ones... just thought it would be fun for people to have a way to locate their divisions since you all have been chatting in these forums...that's all...so it's all up to you as they say...lol
I got my phone call a few days again. He sounded pretty good. Can't wait until the 5th to see him. Any more information on the meet and greet, can't wait to see everyone.
Okay ladies:

I got stuff to make our flag. I hope everyone likes it. If you have anything you want to add to it, just bring it with you and we'll make it fit somewhere.
Thanks for doing the flag. I am sure it will be nice. Is the flag for our table at meet and greet? Wasnt sure where they were being put. Can hardly wait for PIR like everyone else.. Seems forever since I seen my boy...
