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."

Nothing on Captains Cup or BS unfortunately. I will let you know if I do hear anything. That would be great to send them cheers lol. I should have my daughter help since she was a cheerleader. My son would probably say " really mom? lol"

Captains cup will be a week from this Saturday for your PIR group. They will all have a great time and usually the winners will get an extra phone call :-)
I have had a bunch of messages from people wanting to know if it is too late to order ribbons and I thought it would be easier to tell you here rather than email each person separately. It is not too late to order the ribbons to wear to PIR. Just click on my name and send me a friend request if you want more info. Thanks, I have all your recruits in my prayers <3
