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."

August, 2015 - We Are Going Back to the USS Theodore Roosevelt
Our August adoptees are deployed on the USS Theodore Roosevelt and do a variety of jobs. There are 35 males and 10 females. Pillowcases are a "GO"!
We received a suggestion from a Dad with a sailor on the TR. Temperatures are @158 degrees. He suggested small fans for berthing areas. MUST BE UL APPROVED!
They requested:
Cliff bars
Protein bars
Instant coffee
Shaving gel
Easy Mac
Pringles
Doritos
Rice Krispie treats
Pretzels
Beef jerky
Cookies
"Anything from home will be appreciated"
Shipping will be the week of August 24.
In one of his emails, the POC said, "Thank you for everything! You will be bringing a big morale boost to this bland boat!"
Come on Moms, let's send these heroes a bunch of love from home!

Standard size pillowcase and seamstresses use good quality cotton fabrics. You can go to the "We Stitch Love" site for more information!

How do you know if they are UL rated? I was looking at some small battery operated fans on amazon, but don't see anything about UL rating....does that mean it isn't or I'm not looking in the right place?

Valeriejean, IF they are UL approved, it has to be on the packaging or a tag somewhere. If you can't find it, then assume they are not UL approved!
