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."

11/081 Red scarf with blue anchor
Anyone with division 081? Okay, I took a chance and booked flights before I got my letter, $117 Boston to Chicago roundtrip. Finalizing staying at Keylime Cove $113/night. We will have both the PIR and a birthday to celebrate that weekend!

What do you ladies think of red scarf with blue anchor, or navy blue scarf with yellow anchors?

I am pretty much game for any color. I was hoping one of us would hear about colors - but no luck. I am hoping others will chime in with their thoughts too.

I think the brighter the better. We want to make sure we truly stand out in support of our DIV 85!! So Red with blue anchors is my vote. :)

Hi, Div 85 - I see you're discussing colors. I'm a 2x Navy Mom and am helping one of the other moms in this PIR organize "Scarf colors" I'll be maintaining a list for you in the larger group. Ping me when you choose! Bottom line - YOU choose a color you'll like : )
You are approaching a hectic time for your SRs. Be sure to see if you can get a firm BS21 date from your division's SRs.
Feel free to connect - I'll help if I can. : )

Ok so where is everyone getting their scarves from? Is there a specific place to find them with the anchors on them?
