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."

They are ribbons that you can put you son/daughters first or last name on one part and usually thete Division on the otherr side. You wear them on graduation day to show your support for you son/daughter and there Division.... Lala Ribbon Queen is the lady on this site that males them.. You can do a search on your web browser (uniquememorymaker.com) for some examples of what she does.... And by the way Congrates to your son/daughter Hope this helps.

Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons (clickable link) can help you if you order from her, but if you go to http://www.uniquememorymakers.com/PIR-Graduation-Ribbons_c4.htm (that is within her website), you will see the choices and you need to order one of the 3 blue PIR styles. If you choose to make your own ribbons, you can use Navy blue ribbon or red white and blue ribbon. We seldom see different ribbon colors for different divisions any more and when that happens, a loved one makes them.
