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."

Gorgeous fabric!!

Turkey pillowcases. Love it. PS--I'm always looking for pigs on fabric. No luck of late. I like to include a pig pillowcase in every shipment.

I will keep a look out. I will be in South Carolina and Tennessee next week I should be able to find something. My sister in law said there is a big fabric place not to far from her we were going anyway now we have a mission to find PIGs. thank you this will be something I can do with my mom. I will start showing her pictures of pigs today so she can remember and help find fabric.  This really does help the reason for the trip is for Pat's memorial (brother in law & Navy veteran). I really need a distraction going to be very emotional for me. 

sorry but i didn't find any pigs i really thought i would

I keep on looking. If you know me, you know why I need pigs!

For those like me who send from Amazon.com ... today is Amazon Prime Day.  Great deals that I intend to take advantage of and don't forget the "Smile" for the donation!

I ordered cookies and snacks. I was limited to one deal apiece but was a great deal!

Thank you so very much!! Sorry it took so long to reply but I had Grandma duty today!!!

I received $50 from the guys at Rolling Thunder for this unit. WooHoot shopping trip tomorrow 

That is so awesome! Big thanks.

How many pillow cases do we need?  I have plenty to go round and do you need more for the other deployed unit? I am also in the process of making Halloween pillowcases I'll give you a number when they are all cut out. Hope all are well and safe. Prayers for a calming spirit for all
