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."

Molly, I used the Nov date because there are several people who are mailing the scarfs to me. So I need to get them to me so I can re-pack them for our guys. Those here who are mailing the scarfs themselves have longer to get them done. Sorry about that guys.

Lyn, I will commit to at least one. I crochet. I am currently working on a wedding gift, but will do a scarf. If I mail to you, when do you need them by?
One of my sewing crew knits. How many are you wanting to have? -

I will need to be able to mail them out the first week in Dec. I have no idea how many because Molly hasn't chosen a group for Xmas yet. Stay tuned! LOL

one of my knitting friends has a pattern for a neck wrap, it is a tube shape that slips over the head and covers the neck and part of the collar bones. She wants to know if this is ok to make too or just scarves?

I think that will be fine. We just want to keep our sailors and marines warm.

We have been advised by our Navy sources that they must be tans, light browns and desert camo. They have to blend in with their BDUs (battle dress uniforms). Any other colors would make them a target for snipers.
