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."

I was trying to think of something to get my SR for graduation. Someone suggested Navy coins. Here is something about that. I will also post another link.
Anyone unfamiliar with coins can visit this group: http://www.navyformoms.com/group/challengecoins

There isn't a Basic Training coin that can be engraved. There is a nice RTC coin,https://store.nwtmint.com/product_details/1981/Recruit_Training_Com... , but there is no blank space on it at all.
There are generic Navy coins and Rate (rank) coins, all pay grades E-2 and up, with blank backs.

I thought this looked like a good idea! Please share if any of you have come up with any other ideas for graduation! :) Thanks! Kathy

Hello,
I'm new to this site and really glad I found it. Great information.
My SR is Corey and we're from Florida. Can't wait to hear his voice again and see his face. I think I'm going to grab him and never let go. My husband and I are flying up for PIR but we're taking a mini vacation too - we're flying in on Wednesday and leaving on Sunday. My SR is flying out on Saturday (according to his last letter) to Charleston, SC for "A" school - he's in the Nuke program. We're actually staying down in Chicago but will probably go to the Meet & Greet at Sarge's Thursday night. I'm so excited!! I hope to get to meet some of you and thanks again for all the great information.

I hope to see you at PIR - We'll need to stay in touch during this whole Nuke school process. From what we've heard it's very challenging. My husband & I lived in Chesapeake, VA for 2 years when he was stationed in Norfolk and we're both from Lynchburg, VA.

Yea!!! Hope you all are getting your phone calls!
