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."

Okay.. the purple scarves + a neat icon like the anchor or something else.. I am totally ordering some! They are way too adorable and I love it! Anyone else with me? Hopefully, I will get a list of available icons soon for what we can have put on the scarves..
Any idea on our icon color? :) (for those going this route!) I was thinking white or a blue or gold or silver -

Thinking Silver or White. :)

So excited to hear my husband's sweet voice today! I'm so proud of him, and the entire division! He sounded so determined, and it just made my day...It's days like today that give me hope for making it through January =) I love my SR and can't wait until PIR!!!

I completely agree with you, I have been in a good mood since I got my call too!

ALRIGHT! For my scarves from Lala, this is how I am having her make them because they will be awesome and be usable and relevant even after graduation!
I am going with the purple of course, one side will have the anchor, the other 062 for their division (since that # sticks with them their WHOLE CAREER in the navy!) and the decoration add-ons will be in silver.
For the scarves like this it is $25 per one, it is worth it to me! -

And the anchor + 062 may actually be in white instead.. I do not think they make a silver fleece. I am fine with that though. :)

where can we order them? Do we just email her?
-
-

Yea, just email her on here letting her know you are interested in scarves or ribbons, if you want my design you can reference my user name - Then she will get back with you on the information she will need to know and your total.
