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."

Update on Monday 4/30:
Quote from our expectant mom - "You have no idea how much this means to me! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!"
She lives about an hour and a half from any military resources. Also she has two other little girls. She is an ex-Marine. She is a very nice young woman and a pleasure to talk to. She asked Pat, "Why did you all think to do this?" Pat told her, "Beause we are all Navy Family."
Ladies, I want you to know that you are making a difference in this young woman's life! NAVY MOMS ROCK!!!!!

Her due date is July 4, so Pat was thinking that the week of June 18th or so would be good to ensure things get there in time - I'll put your name in for then and you mail after that whenever you're ready! :)

Marcy....Yes, that's me the multi-tasker:
Like I don't have enough to do, I just said I would make a stripe quilt for a new Navy baby. Silly me, like I don't have enough to do between now and the end of June.
1 leave at the end of the month for son's graduation from War College
2 Hosting dinner for Naval Academy appointee's for the class of 2016
3. Need to finish dinner napkins for gift for daughters wedding shower gift
4 Daughters wedding two weeks after USNA dinner.
Now I am going back into my sewing room to work on the stripe quilt. BTW I have a full time job with a 40 minute commute each way. I don't watch much TV, no small children at home nor do I require alot of sleep.
At least I found a dress and shoe's to wear for the wedding!
