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."

Ok, so this is what we know so far...
We'll have lots of media attention in the Dal/FW metroplex area - kiosks downtown, victory park, sides of buses ... We're looking into doing something with the Rangers too, but that's still up in the air a bit.
There's also a Navy sponsored event called SEAL Fitness Challenge. ( It's a series of physical fitness events challenging athletes to maximize their performance in individual tests of strength and endurance. It closely mirrors the initial physical screening test given to anyone who desires to become a SEAL. The event consists of swimming, push ups, sit ups, pull-ups and running.) We're looking to find a way to get some of you involved in that event - it's scheduled for May 16.
Other things to come, but not yet approved by Navy.
