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."

These are the 32 female pcs that I will be mailing out Monday. If your post office has the large Priority Mailing boxes that are shaped like a gameboard I found that I had no problem fitting the 32 banded pcs in the box. Actually could probably fit a few more than that in there.

they look great Cathy. I got some of those boxes I think. What does it cost to send like that?

Sue they are considered a large priority box unless that has changed. I know postage on shipping just went up.

I'll check it.
Ladies, when you mail this week please post in here. And a photo if possible. Thanks!
