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 have an idea for you ladies so you do not have to completely change your color.. Lala has some navy blue printed scarves that are amazing like the following:

Ok, we need ot make a decision, if we all get the scarves from Lala, then we can choose one that Darcie has shown. If we do that, the only problem is, if some of you wanted to make your own it will be harder to match the fabric. Who knew this would be so hard.:)

True, if you are all ok with sticking with the Navy blue, then lets stick with it. I read somewhere it may be too similar but you are correct it will be ok.
And I really like the idea of "Navy" blue. :) -

I like the navy blue idea and agree that it is different from royal blue. I also really like those printed scarves shown in the photo. I am ordering so not worried about matching. I have sent a friend request to get the info and how to order scarves (whatever is decided upon) and ribbons. I will go along with the majority here. Just want to know how to order etc. Thank you!
