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."

Did you decide on a color? I would love to be a part of wearing a ribbon.

Janis, is it too late to ask for a ribbon also? I don't know if you're making them for just the "moms" or the whole family? Our last name is Wallace. Please let me know if you need anything else and also if you want me to pay you! I will be glad to send you a check or just bring money to one of the meet & greets!
Thanks,
Kelli

Ladies I would be honored to make ribbons for you and your family just sent me a message with your last name, also if you could please send me your address I would just hate god forbid something to happen and you ladies not get your ribbons. So if I could get address I will be more than happy to mail them to each one of you. They do not take much time or material to make so doing this is not a problem at all. Hugs Tora
