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."

Scarf colors by division to identify other N4M's at PIR 5/6/2011
There's been discussion about N4M's from each division wearing scarves (neck, wrist, purse, wherever...your choice) of different colors to PIR 5/6/2011 to identify with others in your division, and to recognize others as N4M's. This is purely optional, but a lot of us think it sounds fun.
I decided to start a discussion here, so we could discuss other matters in the group, and so it won't keep getting lost. LOL
These are the colors that have been suggested ...
157- bright pink
158- white
159- green
160- blue camo
161- orange
162-silver/gray
163- Navy Blue
164- red
165- yellow
166- aqua
809- baby blue
925- purple

marylieu, wouldn't your PIR be 4/29/2011? These colors are being discussed for PIR 5/6/2011 (Divisions 157-166,809, 925). If your group hasn't talked about this, maybe you could mention it to them???
I think turquoise sounds like a great color!
