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."

I'm sure that will be OK. Not sure if there is a Wal-Mart close to you but that's where I bought yellow fleece for my scarfs. I could mail you some iron's if you think you would get it in time. I've mailed one to another mom.

You are very welcome. I hope it works for you. I use that material with my heat press. But called and got instructions for a home iron. Let me know how it works. And I'm looking forward to meeting you also.
