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."

Yes. The Blue Candle does help us deal with our sons and daughters in the Navy. Our son has been in for over 8 years. We use a single electric candle with his picture close by of his first Navy picture from book camp. It runs 24 hours a day. It brings our attention to him every time we enter the room. Heck I even salute his picture and tell him how proud I am of him. It is what they wanted to do. I am so Proud of each and every one of them.
Our Blue Candle glows for All Our Sailors in their journey of serving our country.

Good Day Friends! NavySisNowNavyMom how exciting your son's PIR. I Suggest you plan on buying the DVD of the PIR over at the the NEX. ( I Think that is where I bought it!) It is over $100 but well worth the money. So much to see and you just don't see everything. Very exciting when the doors roll up and they come marching in. Have a wonderful time!
Our Blue Candle is flickering true for all our Navy Mom's, our Sailors, Family and Friends
