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."

Thanks for the compliment. That is exactly what I did, the reverse is opposite the front. Added two extra seams, and a bit of cutting, But - it stretched the print fabric and saved some money!

Okay: haven't mailed yet as been waiting on pillow cases. I've had a total of 5 donated. BUT -- we are going shopping tomorrow, so I need to know who has the best deal? Target, Walmart, Anna's, JC Penny's, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar? I'm open. Planning on getting the ones I need to finish out the initial 18 and some extras. Will be mailed by Friday am. Thought I could just add another box with some goodies and pillowcases instead of individual ones. Open to suggestions. Thanks Ladies. :)
