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."

Hey I guess our SR's will be having Captain's Cup this weekend.  GEAUX SHIP 7 DIV 060!

Hey Buddy, you wouldn't be a Tigers Fan now would you??!!

HOORAH 060!

I just got their Divisional T-shirts I ordered.  Their flag is gonna knock your socks off!  So COOL!

I'm going to order more!

Below the pic are the last names of all the SR's. I left that off for OPSEC.

Oh wow!  I can't wait to get mine.    I didn't order any but my SR said he bought one for me and his siblings and pops.   I have a feeling my son has blown his whole paycheck on the "paraphernalia" he's bought for us.  I told him I would buy them so I'm gonna have to dump some money in his account.  But OMG I love everything he has bought.  

Was Devins name on there?

that is awesome shirt!   my SR never mentioned these in his letters.....where can I order those or does he have to-I will ask him when he calls  or  can you send  information.....Gayle - you know everything!  Thanks

Allie, I'm away from home and don't have the link with me! I'll have it on Monday morning for you!

Thanks Gayle....appreciate it!  You're the best! 

Navy T's link

You can order the black or the grey.  The grey is not available till After PIR.  You won't be able to get them till after anyway!

The ladies sizes run weird. I wear a small and order the Ladies XL and it fits great. My daughter also wears a small but likes a snugger fit then I, so I ordered her an L and it's great!

The mens are all true to size.

My SR ordered some as well. He's giving a couple to his best buddies. He is so proud!

Thanks for the link to the t-shirts.  Appreciate it!  

Wow, I love the shirt! Awesome! I ordered to late to get them in time, boo, but it's all good!
72 names (last names only)! Your SR was there Angel!
Y'all will love them!

My wife just talked to our son.  He passed the PFA and will be doing BS with his Division.  I guess we will all be getting I am sailor call on Tuesday.
