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 had a message that some moms and wives wanted me to post the info about PIR ribbons I make. They were worried that some people might only be on these discussions and not see the ribbon info on the main page. So at their request here it is. :) There are more pics on my page as well as pics of Navy scrapbook embellishments I make and sell. Everyone who orders ribbons gets a free handmade scrapbook embellishment with their order. It is hard to believe how soon your PIR is. We are trying to get over a winter storm. We got about a foot of snow the last couple of days, way too much for NC lol. We just aren't equipped to get rid of it like they are up north. If you have questions or want more info send me a message or friend request. Thanks

Tasha, good to hear all your news. I know you are proud. Andrew's last letter mentioned they had some "motivation". Please send me some names that I can drop a letter to. That is so sad. Do we have colors picked yet? I have been off the site for over a week and I can't seem to find the conversations.
Sherri, hang in there. We all feel the pain you are going through. Please send me your last name. Erik is working really hard right now and has to be so exhausted. I would feel the exact way you do if I were not getting letters. Stay strong.
Wendee I hope all is well with Evan. If I flip the page I loose this post and I can't remember what you last posted!
We are coming home on Tuesday, right now Andrew is set to stay at GL for his A school. If there is a chance we can see him we don't want to miss it. If he doesn't have time off then I guess we will be seeing the big city!
Ladies have a wonderful weekend, we will be seeing each other soon.

Got my call yesterday my son Brian is a Sailor... I am so proud of him for sticking with it and making it through. No looking forward to graduation. So I know I missed what color did we all decide on? I want to match the group. God Bless.
