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 got a call about 2 weeks ago because my daughter was needing some info for security clearance. I got to chat with her for about 30 minutes. Of course she didnt mention names of kidos she was with but she sounded better than the day she got there and better than the form letter she sent. She said it was rough at first but then its gotten better. She said their RDC was nicer than the others... She also was excited they were about to learn to shoot guns and learn fire fighting! She was super excited about that!

Laugh!! Christina was REALLY excited about shooting the guns, too! She's a pretty good marksman and looks forward to having a little fun. :-)

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend. I just wanted to send a reminder that I still have a few ribbon orders that I have not received payment for. All the ribbons that have been paid for have been shipped. It is not too late to order or pay for your order if you have already sent the info. Just let me know by sending me a message on this site or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com Thanks so much :-)
