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."

Ribbons - PIR 2-11-11

Hey PIR 2-11-11,

I am making ribbons for anyone who wants them. Some of you have requested information from me and I have tried to email or message each of you personally. You can send supplies or some of the ladies are sending money orders. The ribbons will be a Navy ribbon with a gold/yellow smaller ribbon down the middle and then it will have the PIR date and first name of your sailor. I am making them for $3/each. Then I am asking for extra to ship them back in a flat rate box which is $4.95. Make sure you include your address and contact information so I can send them back to you.

My personal email address if you need to reach me after work hours is avvegte@gmail.com My mailing address is listed below. I will put this all in a discussion just incase some of you miss it!

I can’t wait to make these and it will keep me busy for a couple weeks too!!!

Thanks again and can’t wait to meet you!
