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."

It's hard to believe in one week some of you will be on your way to PIR. I bet you thought that day would never get here and I am positive you are getting very excited to see your Sailors. I have all the late orders on the ribbons finished and some were mailed today and the rest will be mailed in the morning. I only have one or two that I am still waiting on payment for. If you ordered late be looking in the mail in a few days for your ribbons and if you have not sent your order or payment to me let me know asap. We are running out of time. Thanks to all of you who ordered the ribbons; I know you will wear them with pride :-) Let me know if you have any questions at all.

Lala,
