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."

I wanted to give everyone a heads-up who ordered ribbons from me to wear to PIR. I am almost finished with all the ribbons for this PIR group that have been paid for and I am shipping them tomorrow and Tuesday. Please let me know what you think of them when they arrive and thanks for allowing me to make them for you. Let me know if you have any questions at all. I hope you all have a great week and get a really good letter and awesome phone call. :-)

I know it's hard not to worry, but try not to worry too much. My daughter says that test as not near as bad as she expected it to be. It is amazing what they can overcome. I know I would not want to do that test more than any they have to do.

I haven't been on for a while. How is everyone doing? I am really missing both my sons!! One is out at sea and the other in boot camp. I have been so lucky to have one of them to talk to, but the past couple of weeks have been a little rough!! Any new news on our guys and gals? Any info on our date for Battlestations? I can't believe we only have 17 days!!! I am really getting excited!! Are the ribbons for us to wear to PIR? Can we still purchase them? I hope everyone has a fantastic day and I am really looking forward to meeting you all!!
