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 can send you some money for some material if you want. Send me your addy and I'll put the money in the mail tomorrow. I'm no good at sewing but I don't want the sailors to be without.

Ohhh Donna that so sweet BUT honey you go ahead and hold on to your money and save it for next group we do ---- *save it for shipping costs*
We really want you to send something vs you sending us something to ship.
Its so so much better when its coming from you to them :) the best part of this project is that each of us sends directly to the troops, so you know exactly where its going and for who :)
I dont sew either so I know how you feel --- I think we may need to get material donated to our sewers, will be looking into fabric stores for donations soon.
If anyone wants fabric sent to them for things just say so and we will be able to take care of you very soon !!!
Process is almost done for us to be able to ask for the world for our troops !!!! -
