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."

lol, yes it does :-) I had a mom a couple weeks ago sent me a message and she said "I got my ribbons today and they are awesome, so since I got them that must mean it's time go, right? Lol. She was so excited she wore her ribbon everywhere. Someday I am going to walk into a mall somewhere (not Great lakes) and see someone wearing one of my ribbons. Now that would be so cool. When we went to the mall with my sailor after PIR, my son who went with me pointed out every person he saw with one of the ribbons and said hey Mom you know them and you know them and them... lol And several have come back from PIR and said that people waiting in line to get into PIR and those working there were asking where they got their ribbons. I love it! It is so cool to be a part of this for so many people. :-)

Really white scarves on Amazon - darn I wish I would have read this earlier. I finally found a scarf of sorts at Target down here and it has holes in it. Kind of Bali/shawl style. I have always been told I am UNIQUE... that is good right?
No flat warm comfy boots to be found in South Florida!

okay, I promised some of you I would post a comment when the ribbons are being shipped. Some went out Friday and Saturday and a whole bunch are now finished and going out first thing tomorrow morning. I can't wait to hear what you all think of them. As soon as the payments arrive for others who have ordered they will be shipped as well. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. It is so nice here and sunny and warm. I don't want to go back to being cold again. I am for sure coming down with spring fever lol.
