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."

Black backpack is IF your planning on buying ANY type of bag to give them at the airport. The bag MUST be SOLID black. No logos, no stripes, no colors.

I found a very nice black backpack at Marshalls it is made by solo. It is large enough to hold a 17.3 inch laptop and more. I paid $29.99, later that day I went to Best Buy to look for music and I saw the exact backpack for $59.99....I was glad to see that I got a good deal:):) If you don't have a Marshalls near you they do have one at Gurnee Mills shopping Mall near Great Lakes.
