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're "sending love and a little bit of home in every package" to our deployed troops on Valentine's Day weekend. Support our overseas Military by volunteering to help pack supplies.
We welcome volunteers for packing supplies to ship to our troops. Shipping is paid for by Molly's Adopt A Sailor courtesy of the Pepsi Refresh Grant!!! Donations are always welcome and appreciated. We need help to fill out custom forms, writing cards/letters, packing boxes, assembling boxes, addressing boxes. There's LOTS to do and we need all the hands we can get!!!
If you can bring items for our troops, think of what our troops would want while away from HOME. If you or an organization would like to drop off donations for the event, the Army Navy Garrison #3697 is the official drop off location for Molly's Adopt a Sailor Mon-Sat 10 am - 4 pm and Sun 12 pm to closing.
It's a day of fun and a very rewarding experience to help our troops!!! We hope you can join us!

The what to look for sign! Army Navy Union and Molly's Adopt a Sailor signage will be on the left hand side of the road. Take Ulmerton Road across Pinellas County and it will turn into Walsingham Road. Right where it turns into Walsingham (Indian Rocks Christian Church on the right), the Army Navy Union is on the left. If you get to the Gulf of Mexico you've gone too far! LOL...only about a mile from the packing party!
Sorry about the pictures...drive by's...but you get the idea! Can't wait to meet everyone!!!!
