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."

If we all wear white with ribbons then we will stand out like they do at sports games. Our Sailors would be proud! We can also get our recruits to inform their friend's mom (that are not on this site) to do the same.
I don't mind getting a bunch of ribbon and supplying this for graduation.
Just let me know if we are doing it.
I will do whatever is necessary to make this a hit for our new SAILORS!!!!

Jill: In my previous note to you I said we could tie a note when I meant to say tie a knot in the scarf... UGH!! I really need to proof read before I hit send.. LOL.. I have been up since 4:00am thinking about my son and wondering how he is holding up during hell week.. I know he must be pooped... I am so happy we are closer to PIR but GOSH I sure do miss his handsome face...

Navy blue shirt for the Meet & Greet that is! :)

I will have to throw out my outfit and go buy new!! I like the navy t-shirt and the white for graduation idea! Love to shop now I have a good excuse!

We can also wear white tops and dresses for the graduation with red, white, and blue ribbons??? White would probably stand out better in the bleachers??
-
-
Maybe t-shirts for the meet and greet and then for the graduation everyone where a navy blue top or dress and we can put white ribbons on them for our PIR group?
Anyone else have thougths on this? We need to sort it out soon, especially if we need to get t-shirts.
