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."

Ginnie C, who has been a real blessing to HAE and has made many pillowcases sent me an email yesterday. Please pray for her and if you'd like to send her a card drop me an email for her address:

Sue,I won’t be able to ship for awhile. Since Mon. the 23rd, I have been in the hospital. I suffered 3 mini-strokes. But I serve an amazoing God, and He watches over me. And my very favorite quote “My faith, my family, my friends”. Didsn’t have to do rehab, or physical therapy – Once they gave me all the equipment and showed me how to use it, I was outa there!! I am home, and we having a snowstorm BIG TIME! But I don’t have to worry. I have a nice cozy home – with a sunshiny yellow room to do house all my stash of fabric and a neighborhood that will .keep me fed. Gotta go- there were 96 messages on my answering machine when I got home and I am having fun listening reading and listening. Will let you know when I am ready!!

Comment by LLovesmysailor on February 26, 2015 at 1:39pm: Sue,

I have 20 pcs I can send in wave 3 to the Iwo Jima. Let me know the exact mailing date.

Wish I could say it was good to be back from Florida, but it is so cold here.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on February 25, 2015 at 11:46pm: The USS Comstock is back stateside! Happy to have them home safe.

Wave 2 for the Iwo Jima is being mailed this week. Wave 3 in 2 weeks, so get those machines ahummin'.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on February 15, 2015 at 10:37am: Hi Eagle,

I got your message and thanks for making some pillowcases!

The pillowcase inserts/labels are to be put inside each pillowcase so the person receiving knows who made it.

Once you are ready to mail, let me know, I email out the address to the ones who are mailing in that wave. I am going to friend you.

Thanks!
