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."

We are working on pillowcases let me know how many you need. Also I have decorations. I will have to pull them out this week. I cough a great sale and just packed them away not even sure what I have. Ill let you know what I will be sending. Also have Christmas Cards. About 30 boxes all different and made in the USA they were given to me by Rolling Thunder Millville NJ Chapter. Should I send postage stamps too?

How many pillowcases would you like to send? I may have 100 but I’m waiting on confirmation.
They will love the cards to send! I don’t think postage is needed when they mail from the ships. -

Kim can answer better than I can. We have a stash we can take from, but if you have any, it would save some for emergency requests. You have sewn faithfully for us, and it is appreciated! Carol
