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."

Wondering if anyone would have a preference between Peets coffee or Philz coffee. Will be putting together a coffee and Ghiradelli chocolate basket and those two coffees are local. Might forgo the basket and buy one at the local walmart, tho. Or put it in a bag instead so taking it on plane is easier.

So, I was thinking. I don't want to have to check any luggage on my flight. So I've decided I'm going to ship my gift basket to my hotel. I figure it will save me a ton of hassle and it will be waiting for me when I check in to my room.

Yeah yeah yeah! So glad y'all are doing baskets! By all means, talk it up! The more the merrier! Shipping to the hotel is a great idea :). Btw, Vry the dance song is "in the Navy" I corrected the post, but you had probably already read it... Another thing about raffle... My flight doesn't reach ohare until after 3, so I may be late, could y'all help with set up?
