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."

No I'm not in gl already. I got mine in the mail. He paid for them and mailed them home. I'm not sure if everyone sent them home. I think he did so I wouldn't have to bring them back with me on the plane. He got the big wood frame and the small one to. So it would have took alot of room.
