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."

Hi Bea, that's a BEAUTIFUL photo of the "Long Gray Line"!! If I was more Tech Savvy I'd post my glorious photo of the entire Brigade of Midshipmen from the 2007 March On too. Thanks for sharing!!

For all those attending the game, be sure to check SIZE of bag you can take into stadium. In 2007 in Baltimore, they wouldn't allow bag beyond a certain size. I'll tell you, there were many very vocal Navy and Army academy moms who were blasting at the stadium people who made them check-in the bags in that were oversized - some of these bags were PRIZED academy bags which would be hard to replace. I found a medical bag from Army surplus store which was perfect for under $20. Also extra plastic baggies to put inside your socks to keep feet warm.
