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."

http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Products/Crafts-&-Scrapbooking... Maybe your brother could draw it up with color sell it to us as an image and we could create a bunch of Iron-Ons-possibly even put our SR's picture in the middle or somthing. check out this link..I only mention this because of the cost for a few shirts but if he can do it all great!
I totally like the idea of just selling an iron on...that gives moms' freedom to decide where they wanna use it (:
myhero - new has those in the forum section. click on view all and you will see the iron on ideas
Hi everyone!!
I'm glad everyone liked the logo. I will have him draw up one with color this of course was his draft. I personally would like my daughters name on the T-Shirt too. I will get some pricing done for everyone as soon as he creates the final color copy.

Today, I received a letter from my daughter to tell me her best friends name is "HUPPER" . Also, they are getting plenty of sleep and get up early to march in icy cold temps, feeling the ice slap on there face. POOR KIDS!! On Christmas day they have liberty to go with a adopt a sailor family. How wonderful!! I wish I knew what family adopts who??..I would love to contribute with food gift card or something.
Ms. Ampi, You got a letter today? Excellent. I wonder if they can now write letters more than just on Sundays...
julied's husband
This usually begins in week 4 or 5. when you write to your recruit ask him to date his letters with what week and day it is in boot camp...this will help you know what is going on!!
I want to thank you ladies for adding your news, questions, and info in the PIR site too! I appreciate it soo much! Yall are one big familyswith LOTS of kids! And you may never know who might be wondering about something that you will have the insite or answer or calming touch that will help them unless you are there.
