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 have not ordered them either. I am looking at making a fabric flower out of navy camo fabric. I would do silver as since their camo's have the silver stitching for the name. But that is my opinion

You can find out more about the PIR Ribbons that Lala makes on the Page, PIR Ribbons. They are nice. Some people make their own, but we post this option on here for you if you would like to order from her.

No I do not have a date hoping for one soon. I will pass it along as soon as I know. My girl does not answer all of my questions either. she did tell me that she threw her retainers away and is very angry at herself. Told me why phone calls were so short, but did not really answer any questions.

My family wishes to send money to congratulate my sailor. Does anyone know when they can receive $$...make deposits etc. I assume they should wait until the sailor is in A school, but any info would be helpful. I don't know how to answer them.
Thanks

my SR asked me to send his depit card in the mail to him for the purchase of pictures, envelopes,etc. from now til PIR. but i sent no cash. and they dont know when theyll have access to their bank of choice.. but a little cash wouldnt be a bad thing for PIR for snacks and things while they travel from GL to A school. just a suggestion.
