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."

Oh, Thank you, Theresa. I always worry about things being sent through the mail. Don't know why. I'm jus glad they arrived safe and sound. Seriously, if you need/want more, just let me know. I will be happy to make them.

Theresa, I am working on getting my pillowcases done but I don't know if I will be able to get them to you exactly by the 18th.....(with the holiday on Monday) If you have it by the 19th or 20th is that ok?

Theresa, I mailed 3 pillowcases to you this morning. They should be with you on Friday. It is addressed to Theresa since I don't know your last name. One is for my son and has his name embroidered on it. the other two can be for anyone you choose. Thank you so much again for organizing this wonderful project. By the way, I had never made a pillowcase before but make quilts and have tons of fabric. These were pretty easy to make. If you need more, please let me know and I will make them for you. Thanks again, Theresa

Oh, Theresa, what a wonderful thing to do. I will be soooo happy to make them. I have an embroidery machine and will embroidery something on them. Any suggestions as to what I should write? Also, I need your address to mail them to. I will do them next week and get them mailed to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Also, if anyone else would like me to embroider something on some for them, just let me know and I will be happy to do it. It really won't take very long at all
