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 William P Lawrence (DDG 110)
I had a really fun way to begin my day and March 1st! An email from a MC asking this:
How do you decide where to send the pillow cases? I am currently deployed aboard the USS William P. Lawrence. 2 years ago I was aboard the Stennis where we received many pillow cases and I saw how it raised the morale of the crew and I was interested in seeing if we could do the same for this
ship.
R, MC3 Carla
Of course, I wrote right back and said "YES". She got the permission from her XO and we are good
to go.
We need 250 and there are about 48 females. I would like to do this ship in 1 wave and would love to
mail March 6 - 9. If you are able to mail some, please let me know! This is what we have so far:
Ginnie - 30
Betty N - 25
Sue(me) - 26
Cindy S - 25
Betty F - 24
Barbara S - 20
Terry D - 25
Birdie - 25
Karen B -21
Susan S -25
ME - 4 (command)

Birdie, thanks for being flexible! I do appreciate it!
Sandman-no "slug" feelings allowed! HAE is a project that is not supposed to stress anyone out! Believe me, I get that enough for everyone hahah.
You are just getting started and have 10 made? AWESOME! I have sewn since I was 12 or 13 and have made 2 this year. No worries.
I did get some cut out last week, made 1 on Sunday and mailed it on Tuesday. Today, I will make 1 to mail next week. See, you are in good company.
This ship is filled, but ME is working on the other ships so just keep plugging along at a pace that works for you! We appreciate it.
