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."

Oops!  I'm in for 3!
I would like to order also, four of them. What can I do to help?

Love love love this!  I'll probably need 8.  :O

 

Yes very good idea. We'll be able to recognize each other too.
Put me in too. How do we pay for them?
And any information you need message me. :)

Sorry this is big but I am not very good with picture stuff on the computer.This was another thing we did last year.My son's division was yellow.I made these for everyone that was in my division and family members.Very easy to make we did have to order the numbers.

How do we find out colors? Cause I could do those on the name badges...
I'm still getting the final information as it seems the min order was 100 don't think we'd have 100 interested but if need be I'd order them & figure it out... It looks like they are going to be about $3 each with printing...but again I'm working with maaco Corporate office to see who they order from & seeing if that co will give me a better deal... I will know by weeks end & I'll need everyone to email me what names they want on their name badges my email for that is maacoheather@wavecable.com
Once I get final cost I will email everyone again....
You can send me what you want on your name badge with your payment too. If you put attn navy mom the mail gal will know it's personal & not open it as I like to have her limit my junk mail ;)
My work address is best
Maaco collision repair
3095 sunrise blvd
Rancho Cordova, ca 95742

Checks can be made to 2hearts or to me personally...

Thanks
Heather
Awesome, let us know. :)

Do you want the first names of the people in our family who will be wearing the badge...or does our profile name go on.  I couldn't really tell for certain on the picture.  I guess we need to make sure and include ship/divison info?  I saw that iformation on the badge as well.

Thanks for all you're doing with this!

I'm open on name badges, send suggestions, I'm going to laminate them too so they'll last! so if you want it a specific wodrding than send it to me & I'll laminate it & send it back with lanyards, I'll try to do a basic name badge this week & post it for everyone...
