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 am also known as Lori. I usually don't have pillowcases made in advance. But am willing to make some if needed. As long as they are covered for this adoption that is good. Thanks.

I'm sending an Air Force fleece blanket and some feminine products (even if that isn't on the list, but they fit in the nooks and crannies) tomorrow.

Hi there! It’s still time through Saturday for the Air Force group. We do different adoptions each month, though. So if not now, there will be an announcement the first of each month. Mailing is usually the 3rdweek of each month. We are also on Facebook. Carol.
