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."

PIR is Everything and I mean Everything you can imagine as far as what to wear. Mine was in summer and there were some girlfriends and wives in almost nothing at all - to nice suits and ties! I wore nice Jeans and a t-shirt - a bright color that my daughter and I both picked out and told him about so that he could find us in the bleacher ... hahaha boy did he ever find us he said... we wore flourescent green! You guys will need to dress warm that auditorium will be COLD! The doors are huge and open a lot!

Hi gang!!
Well, this morning I went to a silkscreen shop to get a quote for the T-Shirts. The logo can be used for PIR. I can have my brother delete the division# and add the PIR date for everyone's use. You later can add the Div& Ship with fabric paint...or something later on.
If I order a minimum of 36 T-shirts he will give them to me at $9.99 a piece. I will be willing to pay the $80 set up fee for the silk screening. Please let me know if your interested as soon as possible. Again, I would need 36 to order by bulk.
Thanks -

Hi everyone, I know most of you are getting scarves from New Horizons and shirts from Ms Ampi and that is awesome. And some of you are getting scarves & shirts from them and ribbons from me lol. You can never show too much pride right? Anyway I wanted to let you all know that I am going to be mailing your ribbons next week. I want you to get them before Christmas that way we know you have them in time for your PIR. Please remember if you SR is in the choir or band let me know and I will put a music note on your ribbons. After you are finished wearing the ribbon as a pin you can take the pin off the back and put the ribbon in a scrapbook or shadow box. They make a great keepsake. I hope you all are staying warm and having a great letter filled day :-) LaLa (If you still need or want to order ribbons just send me a friend request or message) Thanks
