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."

Hi there! I have 13 St. Patrick's pillowcases ready to go. Along the lines of the material that Llove my sailors used. I sew with Sue's project also so they are the sizes made over there. do you want these mailed to someone to add to a box or I could go to store and get some items to fill a box???
-

You may do anything you wish to do Natalie --- I just sent the pillowcases in a box themselves :) BUT whatever you would like to do ever if fine here. Its from your heart , from your home to theirs.
No need to ever send your heart to someone to add to a box, its so much better when it comes directly from you :) And please include a letter and give them your email address --you may end up getting a pen pal :)
Thank you Thank you Thank you these sailor's could really use this ---- -

Thank you. Got the contact info. Will get the pcs out this week. I'm excited to send these pcs. Think pen pal would be wonderful but so understand that they may be busy and I may not hear anything at all.
Just a neat project. Thank you for having this going for all of us to find a way to feel like we are helping. -

You have no idea how much you are helping ------ I saw a mom the other night say she was a very small part of this and I told her we are all such small parts of this --but when we come together we are HUGE and STRONG.
Its an amazing feeling this team of love we have all built--- and that is why its so important it comes from you, because I cant in anyway shape or form explain the love you have for them, just like you cant explain mine --but when its from your home to them Ohhhh honey it just drips of love :)
Im so glad you are here ---- it means the world, to a bunch of wonderful volunteers who have chosen to give up time in their lives, for us !!! -

Natalie... welcome! What a doll you are for stitching together some great pillowcases! The guys that receive those will love them! Be sure to include your name and email... sometimes that is an easier way for them to get back to you!

20 cases will be sent the last weekend. If I had the material I would do more but finances being what they are... If anyone would have extra material I would be happy to keep sewing.

Those are beautiful!!! I know the feeling of spending as much as possible on the project... I stitched away on the fabric that I had collected... found myself back at the store twice! Now I will be watching for sales again to build up for the next stitching bonnanza!!!

I am with you Molly, YOU need fabric for Molly's adoptees, I would be MORE then happy to send some out..That goes for you to Susan!!! I think that is another way of getting pillowcases, those of US that DO not sew can send material and such to those that do!!!
