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."

Ok I am back from Florida and have had some rest I think I will be able to sew a straight line. We have 12 tie-dye pillow cases done. Found more fabric on sale in Saint Cloud FL. so we have a good stock to pull from. Not sure how many I cut out before my trip but we are good for at least 20. So our total will be 32.

I posted the adoption's wish list on my Facebook page and I had a few wanting to help. My sailors' HS science teacher gave me foot powder, chapstick and drink mix. A fellow OK Navy mom gave me snacks, toiletries, socks and some playing cards. A couple of sisters that were in my Sunday School class several years ago are also going to be giving me some stuff. My amazon subscribe and save stuff will be delivered on Monday and I can start packing all the boxes!
