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

the remainder of the 20 I sent. I used different decorative stitching on them for fun. The one with the camp fabric was an irregular stitch and reminded me of the river and roads.
