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."

Here is the Heads at Ease mailing label: When we mail pillowcases to our "own" groups (not one of Molly's adopted groups), use this label only on the package. If the pillowcases are going to one of Molly's adopted groups, use both labels. Both…Continue

Comment by DC - G'mother of My Fav Sailor on September 9, 2009 at 1:29pm: Here's Shelbi's idea:

And here I have modified the other with different type.

More feedback?

Marty, I'll send you the photoshop file to play with.

Comment by Marty Mc on September 8, 2009 at 9:44pm: I'll gladly get on the files! Thanks.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 8, 2009 at 9:35pm: Dori, can you do a mock up with Shelbi's ideas too? This is exciting!

Thanks Kimmy. He is a talented young man.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 8, 2009 at 4:40pm: And my wonderful sailor helped me finally get the playlist up! The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus was started by my grandson Ronnie Winter-my sailor is his uncle and he's younger than Ronnie. We have an interesting family.

I do think that "Believe" is HAE's theme song. All 3 of these songs make my think of our military, that's why I choose them. Check them out.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 8, 2009 at 4:38pm: Dori,
I LOVE IT! And yes, I want to keep Navy Mom's cause I am a Navy mom. I always end my letters with sending some Navy moma love and from her friends too.

Comment by DC - G'mother of My Fav Sailor on September 8, 2009 at 3:11pm: Sue, I would really like to keep the HAE heart red.

In this one, I tried to incorporate Carolyn's daughter's idea. Do we want Navy Mom's since many of the sewers are not Navy Mom's. They sure are in spirit, I think!

Marty, I'm going to make you a friend and send you both files. They are .psd files so I think they should open in Photoshop. I was thinking Lucinda Calligraphy or Monotype Corsiva for "Heads at Ease."

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 8, 2009 at 2:25pm: yes, black and white are cheaper to print. could we do a small red heart though?
Marty Mc, maybe you and Dori can work together. THANKS!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 8, 2009 at 2:24pm: let's mail as planned, that way Lyn is prepared either way.

Comment by LLovesmysailor on September 8, 2009 at 2:02pm: No, the pillowcases are still on, it just means we have a little more time to get them done. Although they said that it could be a month longer, it could also be as little as a week later. So, I'll just store the pillowcases until I go to the homecoming.
