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."

Robin- I will be going to PIR. Not sure about meet and greet. We are driving up from Ky, the northern part by Cincinnati, OH, right after school. I think it will take about 5.5 hrs. I may talk my husband into leaving earlier so we can go to a meet and greet.
And I do want to get a ribbon. Which one is everyone interested in?

I hope to get a chance to meet all of you. The ribbons will definitely help us to know one another, especially with such a big PIR. Lala (Lora) said navy with gold or silver letter/numbers are the most popular--my favorite too!. We don't have to have the same color so long as we have our ship/div on there. I will mention it from time to time here to remind others about them.

No phone call for us either... Are we expecting it today or just hoping and praying? Also, are we choosing a ribbon color?

Hi Jeana....I am going with the navy ones. Lala said we don't necessarily have to have the same color as long as we have our ship/div # then we will all know one another.

Not yet. Every time I left the house, I took my cell, but feared he would call the house and I would miss the call. Maybe during the game? Thinking of all of you and your SRs.
