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."

wordmountain & proudmom-awesome about the Christmas day pick up of your SR& a buddy!!! What a gift to have them in person!
I like barbydahlzz will be at home on Christmas & waiting for the call. Hopefully its not while we're at church LOL (we usually go at noon since the kids spend the nite at their dad's on Christmas Eve).
Momof3-I know what you mean about not be prepared about the empty spot at Christmas. My mom passed on 12/6 in 2005 & Christams has been hard since then. I just have to focus on the phone call of the day. That's going to be the best present this year!!

I know several of you have ordered ribbons from me to wear to PIR. All of those orders have now been shipped. Please let me know what you think of them when they arrive. I am sure you will love them :-D With the holidays here the shipping seems to be taking an extra day or two depending on how far you are from me but hopefully you will all have them by this Friday or Tuesday at the latest. The mail doesn't run on Monday so letters from your SR's will probably be delayed next week as well. If anyone else would like to order the ribbons to wear to PIR to support your Sailor just send me a friend request on this site or send me an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com and I will send you all the ribbon info as well as some helpful tips for PIR. You have more time to place your order if you want to wait until after Christmas :-) I hope you all have a great day.

Did I miss something? Why are you worried? :(

Well it is hell week so I'm thinking they are having a rough week. I'm thankful I have not got a phone call so sticking to no news is good news. Hell week ends tomorrow thank goodness. I read if you get more than 2 hits on anything you get sent back to another division graduating at a later date. So I have praying since last wednesday night since it started on Thursday early morning for our SR's. I have been worried out of my mind because if my SR got sent back then that would mean I would not be able to see him on Christmas. Praying the good lord above all our SR's gets through it.

My Sr said 4-1 day started on Friday . A day late they took 32 hits on marlinspike . And went 10 min over time. Maybe the did it a 2nd time? That would explain the delay . But like u guys said NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS
