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."

Anyone with division 081? Okay, I took a chance and booked flights before I got my letter, $117 Boston to Chicago roundtrip. Finalizing staying at Keylime Cove $113/night. We will have both the PIR and a birthday to celebrate that weekend!

They also got the flag for Zone Inspection. Sorry, that was in a P.S. and it took a minute for it to register.

Wonderful to hear. I haven't gotten my letters yet this week. Probably today. I truly think it is our mailman that causes the delay.

Es bueno que lleguen a escuchar música mientras el ejercicio. La música es la única cosa que a mi hija le echaba de menos cuando ella estaba allí.

Check with lala - she can make them and tell you if you have time for them to be shipped before you leave. Because you're in Puerto Rico, I'm not certain how long shipping would take. (She also has a website. Friend her for more info.)
As an alternative, you can make one pretty fast. They're usually fleece. Check your fabric store or craft store. JoAnns has fleece on sale right now. Fleece is usually about 60" wide. Choose whether you want 8" 10" or 12" wide scarves, then simply cut straight strips across the width of the fabric. If you buy one yard, you can make four 8" wide scarves and have a small strip (4") for a toddler scarf! Trim the ends of the strips so they are clean, and then cut 1/2" wide "fringe" with each fringe "finger" about 1.5-2" long. To get the anchor, try finding either an iron-on, or you can cut one and appliqué it on,
