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."

maryEllen, do you have an approximation so far of numbers? I know they all aren't in, but even what you have so far may spur people on to keep sewing when they see we have so many left to do.

Dori, I just emailed you some changes.
Dolly which size do you prefer? -

Here is alittle more mailing information:
For special or personalized pcs, they must be in a clear zip lock bag, clearly labeled who they are for. Do not wrap them in tissue or any other kind of paper, as I had planned to do.
If you have made one (Dolly like the 34 you have for me), you need to get those to the mailers of that unit. I need that one sooner than later.
We are working with the command on how to get this done. -

There is a lady on Stephanie Alice's Pillowcase site that just posted wondering about what to do with her pillowcases. I signed off that site, so if someone could go in and read that posting and reply to her that would be great. Looks like she needs to know where to send and obviously did not get the info on the change in plans. Thanks
