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."

I forgot to say that the pillowcase instructions are on the Heads at Ease page and they are called "updated pillowcase instructions". Dori re-wrote what I wrote and gives some great tips.
But I don't know how to do those link things within the navy for moms website. you'll have to look in the archives.
glad to hear that you contacted the ombudsman Stephanie.
Dolly, I have a stepson in Jacksonville. And that is where the band The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus was started. Have you heard of them? Ronnie is my grandson. -

No, Sue I haven't : am I missing something ? I'll have to check them out...do they perform in Jax much?
-

yes they do. In fact, they did a benefit concert for the family of the little girl who was kidnapped and murdered last fall.
Ronnie went to Orange Park High School. His son "Believe" is the Heads at Ease theme song. Look at the Heads at Ease page-I have 3 songs playing on there. -

wow ladies I guess I need to look at the top of the page more for discussions! I used to sew but the sewing machine got left behind in the chaos of divorce years ago. :) I would be glad to be a purchaser and purchase & mail fabric to a sewer.
