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."

Scarf colors by division to identify other N4M's at PIR 5/6/2011

There's been discussion about N4M's from each division wearing scarves (neck, wrist, purse, wherever...your choice) of different colors to PIR 5/6/2011 to identify with others in your division, and to recognize others as N4M's. This is purely optional, but a lot of us think it sounds fun.

 

I decided to start a discussion here, so we could discuss other matters in the group, and so it won't keep getting lost. LOL

 

These are the colors that have been suggested ... 


157- bright pink

158- white

159- green

160- blue camo

161- orange

162-silver/gray

163- Navy Blue

164- red

165- yellow

166- aqua

809- baby blue

925- purple
