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 donated this morning by going on Amazon.com. For me, it was so much easier. Buy in bulk & send it straight there with a gift note. If you're a Prime member shipping is free allowing you to send more.

Here's an update from Anti M:
Comment by Anti M yesterday
Right now, the USO is full up on toiletries and clothing. It has been suggested that sending a donation to the agencies who are providing comfort and necessities on the ground may be the best course of action. Molly does a great job, but so do the families and sailors who are volunteering in Yokosuka. The $14 spent on postage may be better used in the hands of the volunteers.
