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 sent mine to SAW. At last count , they have reached their Goal . Dollyslaffin told me. Mine went in the mail yestrerday, so she will get them on Monday. I took pictures on my cell phone, so I have to figure out how to get them into the computer, but when I do, you will see my " babies" that I made. I made some with the old Mickey mouse, peanuts at christmas time, The Kellogg characters, little sailors, and coca cols fabric. I think they turned out great. I am finally out of my sewing rut I have been in. And good thing too.. as I have a craft fair in 2 weeks.

My son was in the hangar bay when they passed. I see him! haha.
I mailed my half of the CS unit yesterday. That felt so good! I am truly blessed. I know of 3 units actually mailed and will add those to the count.
There are a bunch that went by way of ALFA for Jackie, so will get those numbers and add them in. -

I did it! yesterday, I finally got the rest of 34's pcs mailed. PTL. I didn't think I would ever get those done. boy, putting those special ones in a plastic bag sure takes up alot more room.
and my son said that he has received 2 boxes of pcs. I asked him who they were from. once he gets them all, he'll hand them out.
I am so excited. Finally, starting to see some results. -
