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."

If 10 is too many I don't have to get that many.

Hi Heather, I missed the no last name part?  We can't list our SR's last name on badges?  Or our last name?  Or both?  So many questions, I'm sorry!

Oh no sorry I had done a sample with real names & now I changed it to smith....but said sorry for originally doing it on here...of course on the badges it'll have last names ;)

ok everyone here is the proof of the lanyard....i LOVE the added anchor - and the badge holder is clear so just to clarify...... i am willing to make a scrapbook style name badge to put in there as i thought it would be nice during the meet & greet the night before, & i am doing those for free while i wait for the lanyards to arrive, again i am doing those to help me pass my free time - you can make your own - or order the ribbons from the ribbon gal and put them in there - or a photo of your child whatever YOU want the $2.50 covers the lanyards than based on how many you order (due to weight) i will let you know exact shipping cost to you from me... but i should be able to get a LOT into a USPS flat rate envelope which is less than $5.00 but 1- or 2 should be able to go in a first class regular envelope, i THINK :) so thats under $1.00

I set up a new SPECIAL email for this so i wouldnt lose the project in my daily work & junk stuff....

email me questions or order information to navymom@wavecable.com
