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."

Unless they are somewhere hot all year round then they get special permission to wear whites year round. Like in Hawaii.

Rose: They changed from the white to the blue uniform in Oct. They will change back to the whites in the spring. It is done "Navy-wide." The Blues are their fall/winter uniform; the Whites their spring/summer one.
