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."

Information
A group for those who knit or crochet that would like to blanket our sailors with a touch of home. Our goal is to blanket the entire Navy.

Members: 48
Latest Activity: Aug 16, 2023
After I receive the blanket/afghan, they will be collected and distributed to the ship of the month. Look for pictures of the finished blankets/afghans posted here. Any questions or suggestions can be sent to me or posted on our message board here. Thank you all for your help.
Due to the HUGE cost of shipping blankets, I am very sad to say that I can no longer accept blankets to mail to the ships. I hope that everyone will continue to enjoy the group and come together for friendship and support. Thank you so much everyone who make blankets for our sailors. I know that they appreciated them.

Oh Lynn that just sounds like so much fun.....I wish I could pack everything up in a pod and then paint and change a feww things .......I'd feel like a had a new "clean" home....it would be sooooo nice.
Ok Miss M.I.A. Terri.....lol....did you get the box I sent?????
I really think that there must be a cheaper way to do tis . it seems crazy to spend 18.00 to ship something to you and then the group have to resend ...any ideas out there?????
The weather is beautiful today so I should be tired enough tonight to sit and crochet....

I just got back for vacation and I've missed so much. How many blankets did we get for the Tennessee? How long do we have for the Higgins and how many sailors are on board? Forgive me if all these questions have been asked before.

Ok Karen sorry but the blankets were posted before we have the discussion for them
I went back and copied them and reposted up in the discussion...I also started copying the others that aren't in the discussion so that it will be easier for everyone to enjoy them.....It is time consuming so bear with me ...(also I hope I get the correct names with the blankets....I'm using the name in the original post if it is wronf sorry and let me know I'll get it changed ....PEACE
