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."

Hey Ladies! A few of us had talked about this already but thought I'ld bring it up again on here..I had read that some moms in their kids divisions wore a certain color scarf to PIR so that they could find eachother easier..What do you guys think about us doing that? And Paula had a great idea since it will be in Oct. that' PINK" would be perfect!! Since it's Breast Cancer Awareness :) Also hope everyone has already or soon will be ordering their ribbons!! Let's Support and show our kids just how PROUD we are of them!! Any other ideas are welcome. So glad we all got to talk to our kids as I know they too are happy and Im sure those calls lifted all their spirits :) Come On Oct 19th!! <3

Pink sounds perfect, bright pink! That'll be noticeable AND fun. Perfect choice. Sounds like our kids ate doing a good job and having some fun, too. This is so good.
