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 liked that barbydahllz originally said something about a shirt w/ our NFM names on it or we all wear the same color scarf or shirt. Maybe kev can enlighten us on the weather since he's only 30 min away.
I might have to make my out PIR ribbons. Have to check w/ lala.
Any other thoughts? -

We have had an extremely mild winter here, but that could change at a moments notice. The are calling for periods of ice, rain and snow from Jan 11th-13th. Temps mid 30's down to mid 20's It's still to far away to predict so that could mean anything. Over the weekend and by Monday for sure we should get an Idea of whats it's going to be like.
