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."

Yes - I was suggesting navy! I was thinking of buying a simple piece of navy blue satin ribbon ( from Michael's ?) ANd for the lettering either use that colored glue and freehand it OR glue on letters that you can get where there are acrapbooking supplies.
I agree with using our screen names instead of the date. (However, my screen name is not as unique as some of yours!!!)

big is the word!!! make it all in CAPS! lol hell i think Ill just make that "protester" sign!!!
Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 12, 2010 at 5:13pm
I think we all know that it will be 2-26 but I think we should have our division and possible n4m name so we will know each other,
Comment by Debbie on February 12, 2010 at 4:22pm
Sorry for the delay - was looking for an image to attach - but no luck so far. I think we are suggesting that we wear navy blue ribbons, fashioned after the breast cancer awareness, support our troops, etc designs, and that we write on one end of the ribbon "PIR 2/26 and then on the other end of the ribbon your recruit's Ship #/Div# - so mine would say "7/106".
Comment by Debbie on February 12, 2010 at 2:55pm
Let's do it!!
Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 12, 2010 at 2:34pm
Debbie, I like that Idea- we could also put our n4m name on one side and our division on the other
