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 Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 13, 2009 at 4:47pm: We will be getting a new logo and label sometime later today. Dori had the thought about copyright, so we both researched. We've come to the conclusion that it probably is copyrighted and it would cost $ to use.
Since I am not locked in to that design, Dori has been working away to make one unique to HAE.

Comment by DC - G'mother of My Fav Sailor on September 11, 2009 at 1:55pm: Frequently designing something by committee doesn't work but this time the combination of suggestions was great!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 11, 2009 at 12:23pm: The label is done. thanks to Dori who made it and to all who added input. Check it out.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 11, 2009 at 10:45am: Whew, I think I am caught up. I was having withdrawal problems last night. haha.

Jean, if you pm me your personal email, I will add you to my HAE crew and will send you some more information, Thanks.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 11, 2009 at 10:19am: yes, we will adopt groups in both of those months, but will try to keep it small.
I've had a request for an Army group of 80. I actually have about 200 pillowcases on hand.
Dori, I learned a long time ago, that I can't do everything and this is important haha- I no longer try.
So you do what you can and no stress. You are such a blessing to this group, so no worries!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 11, 2009 at 10:13am: I'm finally able to get back in the website! Now to catch up. Thanks to all who emailed me and kept me up to date.

Comment by DC - G'mother of My Fav Sailor on September 11, 2009 at 6:50am: Lyn, there will be groups adopted but the question is whether pillowcases will be sent. Personally, much as I would like to do it, I can't make a bunch in November and December. I'm just giving a heads up at this time.

Comment by LLovesmysailor on September 10, 2009 at 9:01pm: There will be smaller groups for Oct and November. I can't imagine Molly or Sue missing Thanksgiving. December will be a big one. I think Molly might try to adopt all of Afganistan if she could. LOL

Comment by DC - G'mother of My Fav Sailor on September 10, 2009 at 3:10pm: Sue, Do I understand you correctly? We are not going to try to do any groups for November and December? Whew! A good time to stockpile a few if there is a chance but no pressure! I may even try to do a scarf or two, then.
