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."

Will re-post from the PIR 10-5 group:
Got a letter yesterday, SR said he got a 5.0 on some test and will get 2 phone calls as a reward. Did any of your SRs mention a test and what it might have been about?
He also said he had no idea when he would have time to make the call. Then he was off to iron his towels (?!)

Im sorry to say that my friend won't be able to make ribbons for us, she is afraid she would be pressed for time to get them done as they are in the middle of remodeling their house. I think you still have time to order from the ribbon lady. I am going to try and either make my own or find someone to make some for me with embroidered lettering. If I come up with anything I will pass it on.

Huggy- Im still waiting on her to get back to me, but I'm sure if she is able to take on our order that she can make hair ribbons or bows to match. She does a great job, I have bought several for my daughter. I will let you know as soon as I hear from her.

Great idea I agree. Will they be hair ribbions as well.

PNCM - let us know what the price is so that I can get you the money, that is if we decide to go that direction.
On another note, my son's girlfriend received a letter today and Danny was unable to call due to two wisdom teeth being removed. He told her that there was about 13 SRs who had their WT removed. Hopefully we will hear from him real soon.

I think I am going to sarges' meet and greet on Thursday night before PIR. About the ribbons, the ribbon lady makes them for $6.50 and from what I'm reading she only makes them in navy. I have a friend that makes hairbows, etc. She is going to give me a price on making us some in whatever color we decide on. I hope she can make them as she can embroider the names and DIV# on them. She has made ribbons for my daughters hair that were embroidered and they turned out great. We will need to make a quick decision on this so we can be sure to get them in time.
