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."

Marines CLB 6
My nephew is in this group of marines (stands for Combat Logistics Battalion) and they will be deployed soon.
The total number needed 700: 36 females, 664 males.
We will be mailing in waves to the different companies. Once I get the breakdown of numbersby company, we will decide on the mailing dates. At this point in time, it looks like we will start in late August with a very small possibility of a late July mailing.
Watch for further details. And ladies, "start your machines".
Ok This is the suggested ship schedule. Let me know what you think, how many you can help with. Thanks!!
A company 152 male- 6 female ship date 8-10 thru 8-13
B company 154 male- 5 female ship date 8-31 thru 9-3
ENGR Co 134 male- 8 female ship date 9-21 thru 9-24
HQ 239 male- 19 female ship date 10-5 thru 10-8

Let me see what I can put together and I'll give you a number when I do. My machine has to go into the shop this week (boo hoo), but maybe I can do the cutting and piecing enough while she is in for her repairs! Bernina just over 1 year old and the light went out! Hopefully there isn't anything major wrong. My husband lost his job earlier this month so I am hoping the warranty will cover the costs. I have been told that it won't cover the labor already, but should cover the new bulb.

Looks like we have them all covered. I have not heard from my sister about theprevious shipments. But she has been very busy with our mother, who lives with her. Mom is retaining fluid and they can't seem to get it down. Will check with her agian tonight.

they are so pretty and you will like the fabric that I sent you. I actually did try somewhat to color coordinate the boxes and perhaps put something in that reflects each person's sewing style. I tried anyway.
I mailed the other 20 yesterday and I'll post a photo one of these days. So ENGR Co will be done today.
