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, now you ladies are scaring me. You are doing EXACTLY what my group did one year ago, from organizing a separate M&G at Anastasia's, to the scarves to the ribbons. Most divisions do the scarves or ribbons, but rarely do they do both *and* Anastasia's.
By the way, as cold as it is in February at Great Lakes, the dads really didn't mind wearing the scarves, LOL.

Also on the ribbon idea...who is doing this again? Sorry I am reading to many post today. Like the ribbon with our PIR on one side and maybe our username somehow on it? Some of us, LIKE ME> lol have long names...
Not sure if putting the Spec Opp boys names on the ribbons due to the job they will have.
