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."

No word on how the week is going but I am sure they will all survive it and keep progressing toward PIR.

Just a heads up on the ribbons you guys have been ordering to wear to PIR. All the ribbons that I have received payments for were shipped today. Please let me know what you think of them when they arrive. I know you will all wear them with pride when you see your Sailors. If anyone else would like more info on ordering the ribbons just send me a friend request on this site or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com Thanks so much :-)

Some families did get a call...so I am SO curious how it went. Thanks Julie for letting me know that not all the guys got to call home. Or maybe some of them called other people. I just am waiting to hear. I know that NO NEWS is good news in this case.

I'm curious to hear about Hell Week, too! But you are so right - no news is good news. I have to keep reminding myself of that :)

Has anyone heard how Hell Week went yet? Just wondering- it is about time for a letter and some get letters faster than others so just checking. Wow can't believe they are finally on the downhill swing. Everyone got their red scarfs? I read somewhere that there were shirts with the Div flag????? Has anyone else? How do we know and where do we find this out???

My son called on Saturday. He said he'll week went well, and was pretty easy, just busy. My son told me he had ordered our family shirts, and he paid for them. I know they sell them at graduation. They have tables set up and sell some navy things along with their shirts with their team flag on them.
