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."

Hi Jody, I'll check our local quilt store for you. She has over 400 bolts of flannel and with us so close to the "Big House" were blue & maize(yellow/gold) is all the craze maybe she'll have some. How much are you looking for? Wendy

All...My son who is currently in Afghanistan is turning 30 this April. I was thinking of putting together a memory quilt with some of his old high school t-shirts.
I was looking for some flannel with a blue and yellow (gold) design on it (high school and college colors). Has anybody in their shopping lately seen anything like that?
Thanks,
Jody

Kat and Joyce....Ok I must not fit the mold LOL. I guess being a bit compuslive has it benefits. I can't handle having unfinished projects. I may have fabric for projects, but I have them in baskets in the order that I want to make them. Sometimes I just wish I could let things go, but then I wouldn't be me LOL.
