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."

USS Abraham Lincoln CVN72, an aircraft carrier-Sue's heart
The USS Abraham Lincoln will be deployed for Christmas and has given approval for the ship to receive pillowcases while on deployment. That will be 5,000 or more strong.
The main postings for this project will be in the Lincoln group under the thread called "The Lincoln Family Love Pillowcase Project".
I will update here as well so you don't have to join the Lincoln group.
Let us know what you can do to help us get the ship done!

I love rainbows! This was posted on the Lincoln group, so wanted you all to see this beautiful photo.

Just found this amazing picture on Lincoln's Facebook page: the ship leaving Hawaii with 5000 sailors and 1000 Tigers! :-) Under a rainbow, which, surely will bring them safe sailing across the waters!

Oh, I already made two. Paymaster spent a day teaching me how to make a quilt. Then I got a crash course in the Walmart fabric section on how to make a rag quilt. Came out really nice. If you're on my FB page, check out the pictures I posted. :)

Sure you can share the pics. Tag me in them when you post them on your group page, so I can be linked to them.
I'm so proud of myself. It actually came out straight! How about that?
The two rag quilts I did came out really cute too. One was for my grandbaby and the other for a baby shower.

got a nice thank you note from our POC for the CS unit today.
Thank you Ms. Sue for the pillowcase. That was so thoughtful for you to do that and I was/am really appreciative of the pillowcase for me and my division. Sorry I did not thank you sooner but I was really busy and had a lot going on. But thanks so much for the pillowcase I love it and sleep with it a lot.
