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."

Hello,  I just learned about your wonderful ribbons and was wondering if it would be at all possible to still get them for the 7/18 PIR. I am willing to pay the overnight fees.  A friend request has already been sent. :)

Hi, I'm sorry to bother you but I was wondering what the turnaround time is on the ribbons?  We will be leaving the weekend  before my son's PIR  07/18. If they don't come till the week of PIR  I would need to ask if you could send them to a different address. Thank you so much for making these. Looking forward to that 3rd Friday of this month !

Hello. I would like to order 3 ribbons for my son's PIR which is 6/6/14. He is ship 02 div 930. One would be for me, and the other 2 for his sisters. I thought I saw pictures of them at one point in time on some site? I sent you a friend request. Let me know what other info you need, and I will see that you get it. This is deb from TX. I can't wait to wear them and show my support!
