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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 2, 2010 at 8:05pm: I found directions today for making the 3 dimensional scrapbook box that opens up when you take the lid off. Let me know if you want me to send you the directions. :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 29, 2010 at 12:07pm: That is a great idea. I gave my sailor an extra card for her camera and when one is full she can send it to me and i will make a CD of all her pics and load them to the computer then send her a copy of the CD and her card back, by then she should have the other one full to send me. I also made a list of what I want pics of, like her dogtags for her navy Scrapbook

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 29, 2010 at 9:56am: Well we another one the weekend before Thanksgiving. Let's see...hummmm, you could call it a business trip lol, yeah that would work :-)

Comment by Cheryl Mom Nuke ET on October 27, 2010 at 10:40pm: To fellow scrapbookers, here's the 2 sites that carry a lot of Navy products: www.creatingmilitarymemories.com/navy/paper.html and www.memoriesinuniform.com.
Lala - I sure wished I lived near you for all those crops! I go to a lot in the Maryland and Pennsylvania areas = love the weekend crops now that I'm an empty nester.

Comment by cheryllynn-proud mom of a sailor on October 20, 2010 at 2:37pm: Hahahaha, Lala, yes, I do. Too much going on this weekend. The NH moms are getting together for a luncheon....Yeah. I ordered my Navy scrapbook and paper last night....HOOYAH!!! Cannot wait. Still working on daughters dance book. Trying to get that done before PIR...

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 19, 2010 at 10:54am: We are having a Free Crop this weekend. Use CRICUT with lots of cartridges for free. Just bring your pics and paper. We have a great scrapbook store very close by. Anyone live near Western NC wanna come? Or heck take a long drive or fly in. We would be happy to have you come. And what better time of year to visit the Mountains, Fall Colors are awesome right now. You know you wanna come :-)

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on October 18, 2010 at 4:28pm: good to know, thanks.

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on October 18, 2010 at 3:56pm: Thanks for your input and ideas Mickee! I am having a going away party for him and will have throw cameras around for all his friends to use and postcards for them to fill out for him. I guess its a start..... I also have a great pic of him as an infant in a sailor hat...

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on October 18, 2010 at 2:04pm: Hi, my son is off to BC in less than a month and I thought this might be a fun project for my daughter and I to do because lately she has been sad knowing her big brother will be leaving soon. I have never scaped before so any begining ideas would help.
