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."

Event Description
We will also be doing our "Adopt a Sailor" for the month of May...
Still to be annouced..
Check back for details...
Hi and Hello to the most wonderful NAVY Moms/Dads/Loved Ones on this planet!!
Adopt A Sailor ***** PLEASE READ******Instead of adopting for just one month, we are adopting our group to begin delivery so they can have the best 4th of July on record in the sandbox!!! We want them to have all the fixin’s by July 4th.
EVERYONE, WE ARE SENDING THEM THE BIGGEST AND BEST 4TH OF JULY ON RECORD.
YES, I’M YELLING.
WE ARE THROWING A PARTY IN AFGHANISTAN FOR A HUGE GROUP OF 129 SEABEE’S!!
WITH MUCH LOVE FROM ALL THEIR NAVY MOMS, NAVY DADS AND NAVY LOVED ONES.
Holy Goodness Gracious!!! Whew. This is big.
What does this all mean exactly?
We want to send them a piece of home from every state!!! Every state in the union!!! 50.
5-0 and I know we "can do" this. --Get it...SeaBee motto: Can do. I crack myself up.
That means, POSTCARDS from your state.
Send a postcard of your beautiful state to let them know how much they are appreciated and loved by all their Navy Moms! Navy Dads & Loved Ones too!! Get everyone involved, we will tally the postcards, and locations of each.
Our goal is a postcard from every single state!
Those of you that are having get-togethers, and packing parties, send your state. Whatever that means to you. State Birds not allowed. Do not send livestock. Yikes!
BUT WE ALWAYS WANT TO INCLUDE SOME RED, WHITE AND BLUE!
Wait, do you hear the screeching brakes in your head. Good, because we can’t have one single firework, sparkler, or even a popper. I’m sure you will visit me in jail if we even try something like that. That would be way bad.
The above has been a public service announcement along with Staci’s conscience; she really doesn’t want to have anything to do with jail.
DETAILS:
OPERATION PARTY IN THE SANDBOX DATES:
START SENDING THE LOVE JUNE 9TH AND COMPLETE BY JUNE 16TH
Let's all sign the same thing this month, when we send our postcards/letters/etc.
Love Molly's Adopt a Sailor Mom
Your name here
We want them to start recognizing our big group, and we can do this by "Brand Image" --I think that's what they call it in the marketing world. I don't really know since I'm in the computer world, but I think you know what I mean.
AND we are ultimately shooting for the stars on our adoptions!
CONTACT INFORMATION: SW1 JACKSON W. SHEFLIN
ATTN: ANY SAILOR

He made his first post on April 14th, 2009 and his name has only been requested a total of 5 times, now 6 with us. I love him, because all he asked for was basic safety items. Here is what he said below.
“We are hoping to get safety stuff for construction projects such as tinted safety glasses and disposable earplugs. Also would like insoles for our boots. If there is any way you could help with that it would be great. Thank you very much. –Jackson Sheflin”
Ok everyone, let's get to it. Let's make some sailors in Afghanistan very happy. Yippee!!!
STATES MENTIONED. (These are not specific states of people in those states but of people who mentioned them---I'm thinkin' maybe we want to get more detailed)
Those with white dots off to the left show that they've been mentioned in this thread. ....I'm going to add a state discussion
PS...PLease RSVP ----ASAP so we may call ahead to reserve tables!!!
