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."

Glad you are back, lawpup. I'm sure your ribbons will turn out great. Working at a florist, you probably have good experience working with ribbon. I bought mine. I am not at all crafty, at least not in the arts and crafts sense of the word, lol.

Hi, Melissa! Welcome! I'm so glad that you joined us. Not sure if we have any mothers of daughters... I believe most are either mothers of sons, like myself, or wives or girlfriends. We don't have much longer. Before you know if we will all be watching our SRS march those those doors at PIR!

Hi, Melissa! I'm not sure where the other moms/girlfriends/wives are. Perhaps they do not know about this site. :(
My family and I are also planning to stay at the Ramada Inn. We have decided to drive (from NC) to Great Lakes. Hope to see you at the Meet & Greet on Thursday evening before PIR.
