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."

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 25, 2013 at 12:24am: The grand adventure with the Nimitz is winding down! What a thankful group of sailors!

I added in the 3rd wave which is now done. We have a 4th wave coming up next week. If you haven't sewn any pcs for awhile we could probably finish the ship with your help.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 23, 2013 at 12:05am: we are getting lots of great notes from the Nimitz. Check out the thread!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 20, 2013 at 10:36pm: Christina, please pm me your personal email address.

lots of great notes coming in from the Nimitz!

Comment by Christina on June 20, 2013 at 11:56am: When are we able to send out the pillowcases I message about before?

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 18, 2013 at 2:52pm: we are getting lots of pcs-check out the thread.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 16, 2013 at 9:45pm: Hello ADN-good to hear from you and yes, it is a big project. The 3rd time is a charm so the saying goes. Doing it by departments is the way to break it down into manageable bites!

Yes, I do know that about your family and we were blessed to serve them and you in this small way.

Thank you in advance for whenever a donation for shipping is possible.

AND Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 16, 2013 at 4:34pm: so many wonderful notes coming in from the Nimitz!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 16, 2013 at 10:06am: check out the thank you notes on the Nimitz thread! the 1st 2!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 13, 2013 at 11:30am: I got 9 adult aprons made in 3 days and now I can get back to the pillowcases!

I am the VBS craft lady at my church and I make my crew an apron every year that matches the theme. They get to keep them at the end of the summer.

Happy sewing!
