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 make each ribbon to fit the name. Most are about the size of your hand or 5-6 inches long, which helps others to see them well :)

How long is the ribbon. My SR has a long first name and last name--- 9 letters on first name and 8 on last name!!!

A few more than half order them with the last name. You can get them however you want. They are know by last name in the military but the ribbons are a keepsake for you so get what you want :)

I love your ribbons and want to order for our group. Just wondered: do most go with their SRs first or last name on the ribbon? Thanks!
