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."

Stash Inventory
I'm going to be keeping track of our members stash numbers for Sue. So please send me the number of pillowcases in your stash and whether they are for males or females. I'll try and update the numbers as often as possible, so let me know when you mail any out or add more to your stash. I'm hoping this will help Sue know what we have available for future groups.
Keep sewing!

Here is what I have 4-bass pillowcases they are hard to explain they look like underwater grass with bass swimming around. I guess they could be either if a female likes to fish. -

Marlo, that is cute fabric. took me a few seconds to see the bass. And BTW are you mailing a pc to your adopted Air Force son?
I am mailing pcs for the moms who didn't have one. and will mail on Thursday so let me know if you did or will. -
-
-
I already sent my Air Force sons package before I got the fabric and made the pc. If you have one you can pass on that would be great or I will have to get a few more things together to send another package. I mailed mine the next day after I got his name and then I saw that we were sending them a pillowcase.
