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."

And I think they send scarves around the holidays. I'm still trying to finish baby projects that are started (Showers this month-better hurry) before I can commit to this. But I did get yarn for a 6 hour afghan -on sale-woo hoo-so I hope to get at least one in this year. Just enjoy.

Hi Kathy...
Welcome to our group. I am so sorry I didn't see your post until now. Our group has a goal to blanket the entire Navy with a handmade blanket/afghan for every sailor. They need to be twin bed sized or smaller. It is just to give the saiors a touch of home when they are so far away from their families. If I can answer any more questions or if you need any help post to the main board for our group...I will see it much quicker... ;) -
