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."

When we mail pillowcases to our "own" groups (not one of Molly's adopted groups), use this label only on the package. If the pillowcases are going to one of Molly's adopted groups, use both labels. Both labels are close in size. Download the HAE-Label.PDF file below and you will be able to print the Heads at Ease labels on Avery 8163 or plain paper. If you print on plain paper you will need to tape it onto the package. I have also added a note to be included in your pillowcases. Please fill in your name on the note. The note can be printed on Avery Postcards or plain paper.
We changed the label for several reasons. One was to make "Heads at Ease" more visible. Second, we needed a logo that was not copyrighted.
We were asked to make one for people who are not "Navy" Moms so here is what Sue and I came up with:

Can you refresh me on the specs for size of the cases. I have intended to do this for over a year, and have not made the time. I think it is about time!
I will find the topic on making pillow cases for you and move it to the top.
I was thinking the same thing. My Octobaby is in DEP and I would like to get going now. My Littles are learning to sew too. So this would be a great way for them to feel connected to something bigger than themselves and make a difference
