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."

Comment by Aggie08Mom (ship 02,div. 903) on November 22, 2010 at 6:20pm: I am so hoping I'll have my ribbbons tonight. I didn't get a letter last week, so the ribbons will help make up for that!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 22, 2010 at 6:09pm: Most families light the candles at 8:00 pm Central standard time, or a few min before. :-) And the towel is to sit on in the car, so they can keep the uniform clean. I think that is more for the white uniforms they wear in the warmer months but I am sure it won't hurt to have it anyway. Especially if you are using a shuttle, you never know what the person before you may have spilled in the seat....

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 22, 2010 at 5:57pm: momclf- if she has the learners permit that is all she will need. It is a state issued ID with her picture right? At least that is what they have here in NC, So I am pretty sure it is like that in other states as well. You could take her birth certificate but I really don't think she will need it.

Molly- so glad you like the ribbons, there should be several getting theirs today. :-)

Comment by Molly*corpman* mom on November 22, 2010 at 5:38pm: WHAT TIME DO WE TURN OUR CANDLES ON? DOES ANYONE KNOW? CAN'T TYPE , I KEPT CLICKING THE ADD COMMENT BUTTON,,,,, BARE WITH ME PLEASE.....LOL

Comment by dillndrewsmom on November 22, 2010 at 5:22pm: @momclf.. she can go to your local RMV and get an Id.. you have to be 16.. its like $ 5.00 and takes 2 seconds " )

Comment by dillndrewsmom on November 22, 2010 at 5:20pm: Hi ladies !! So excited..10 more days !!!! Have a great Thanksgiving, and fingers crossed for Div 09 ( my sons ) and div 10 tomorrow !!! Cant wait for the ''Im a Sailor call !!!!!

Comment by momclf (ship03 div 018) on November 22, 2010 at 5:19pm: Ok girls, new question for you. My son's girlfriend who is going with us, cannot find her social security card and she does not have her driver's lic. yet, if she takes her birth cert., learner's permit, and high school ID will that work? He did put her on his list, but since she is only 17 I am not sure what all she should take along.
