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 had a message that some moms and wives wanted me to post the info about PIR ribbons I make. They were worried that some people might only be on these discussions and not see the ribbon info on the main page. So at their request here it is. :) There are more pics on my page as well as pics of Navy scrapbook embellishments I make and sell. Everyone who orders ribbons gets a free handmade scrapbook embellishment with their order. It is hard to believe how soon your PIR is. We are trying to get over a winter storm. We got about a foot of snow the last couple of days, way too much for NC lol. We just aren't equipped to get rid of it like they are up north. If you have questions or want more info send me a message or friend request. Thanks

I received a call yesterday and was able to talk for some time. So glad I didn't miss the second call! Was happy that he sounds optimistic, doing well, has gained about 10 pounds so far (and needed to, he was too skinny). Hope you all received good words, too!

hcr83 that is great! I got a call from Blake yesterday also. He sounded okay, but has a little cold. He did not say if he gained weight, I hope he did because he really needs it too! He said he probably wouldn't get to call for another couple of weeks.
