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."

The lioness is a single mother. Her job is to feed her cub, protect him from hostile "animals", teach him the basics of survival, and send him out on his own.

How do I get the tattoo pic's to you? I think this is a great site to show your individuallity and creativity!

Yes thank you! I figured it was probably the same as societys rules. I have a half sleeve and I do a really good job of covering it up when needed. My work didn't even know I had tattoos untill about a year after working with them and I wore a short sleeve top to an Xmas party. I think I have pretty good judgement as to when I should cover them.

Question: Does the navy really care if I (wife) have tattoos? I know they have rules and regulations for our sailors, mine are nothing inappropriate, is it much like societys rules?
