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."

http://store.scrapbook.com/theme/military.html

Amazon.com also offered a Navy scrapbook but it was $100.

I think you can also get them at Hobby Lobby, and at Michaels you can usually print a 40% or 50% off coupon and get it much cheaper. Michaels will also except AC Moore coupons.

We scored ours at Michael's with the 50% off coupon. Woo Hoo!!

I had found the one at Hobby Lobby that was leather with the seal on it but didn't want to buy it that day b/c I didn't have a coupon. So the day I came back with the coupon I found one I liked better. It is made like their dress blues or cracker jack as they call it. I LOVE it!!!!
