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."

August Sailors Are in Iraq!
Thank you so much for your support. We have been very busy recently and I am sorry I have not been able to write more, but as you can imagine there is a lot of moving parts here. The troops are doing great, and still need some of the basic toiletry items and entertainment items. We started our deployment with very little and as we have pushed forward your help has lifted us up and motivated many. We call everyone’s packages “gifts from the heart boxes” because that is what they are. We could not do what we are doing without your support. Mail has been slow lately and troops are getting a little down but they really look forward to hearing from Americans like yourself, so if you can’t send items then just send a letter a post card they love to hear that they are not alone. The troops due get to watch movies on their laptops so DVDs are in high demand here. As you can imagine there is very little to do on our off time here so anything you can send to help the troops take their mind off of where they are helps.
Again I want to thank everyone on the behalf of my troops for the prayers and love we have received from those we truly serve with pride. God Bless you all.

Wonderful Pam, I must say I had some fun today. Our daughter is heading back to college on Saturday and I ran over to SuperTarget to pick up a few last things for her and found myself...shopping for Sailors!!!
I got coffee, deodorant, q-tips, hard candies, beef jerky, nuts, trail mix, drink mixes for bottled water, I'm not even sure what else but I hope our sailors will enjoy it as much as I had fun pulling it together for them. I won't be able to ship our box out until Monday as we will be out of town getting daughter settled into school. -

Thanks Mary and Molly. I can't wait to send out another box! I've been collecting back issues of magazines from our local YMCA. I'm excited about the female troops this time as well!
