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."

LaurensMom: The recruits in that division make the design. Don't know if it is just one, or if there is input from several recruits. But they always do a great job! And it is very unique!

laurensmom, no! it's a company. If you call them, they'll have your order ready for the particular item you want and send it out to you.

just got a letter! i love how the ONE question i asked in the entire letter i sent him was "when is your battlestations?!" ......he didn't answer it lol. ahhhhh i guess we'll all just have to be patient. we're pretty good at that, i'd say! i can't believe how patient this entire process has made me. In this crazy world of electronic instant gratification, it was a huge switch to have it all cut off! But look at us now! 3 days and 13 hours! woo hoo!
