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."

I'll get everyone started on the pillowcases! We already have 25 from New Mexico promised!

On the laundry detergent, would they rather have pods. liquid or powder? My daughter informed me that Crystal Light now has caffeine added to their individual drink mix packets. I know there are other energy ones that you mix with water so I'll be looking for some of those as well.

Let's go with pods. They are more convenient and easier to ship!

Sounds great! I may order through smile.amazon and ship them directly. I'll save my shipping $$$

I've already got 2-3 boxes and 20 pillowcases.

Thank you dearie!

Wheres a good place to get pillow cases at a reasoable price
I order plain white cotton cases from pillowcases.net. They are good quality and affordable.
Thank you Kim ( Etha's mom)
I'll go check it out now :)

If you are planning on decorating pillowcases, remember you only have to decorate 1 side. So then there is the decorated side and the sleeping side!

BTW, I have decorated a bunch of pillowcases. Found some cool stencils at Hobby Lobby. And stamps on sale at Michael's craft store. They turned out really cute!

Just to clarify ... Are you thinking to mail 250 "Trick or Treat" type bags? Just wondering on how to pack the box.

CruAn, I received donations of a bunch of water bottles and tons of candy. So we stuffed the water bottles with candy and had planned to send them to Special Hugs. Then Special Hugs was put on hold due to all the changes going on in A-stan. So they have been residing in my "Molly's closet"!

So I was thinking I could put the candy that is in the water bottles into Halloween gift bags and send them. So I will have 100 goodie bags. Pretty good start, don't you think???

Better than good!! Now I know how to pack. I'll give you a number as soon as I can! Holloween is my favorite day! Better than x-mas.
