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."

Just got a letter from my adoptee! It's dated the day before my surgery was (12/19) and I just got it! WoW!!
He's a very religious fellow, from the sounds of it!!! (And a terrible speller too, hehehehe).
"Thank you for the care package that you've sent me. I really appreciated it and is very thankful for your graditude. I know God will touch you heart and bless you for the great things you have done! And please than the great artist for the awsome card. It really touched me. I hope you & you family enjoy the holidays and I pray that God keep you in his hands" "Once again thank you! Merry Christmas & Happy New Years!"
Awwww.....He's sooooo cute!! I'm getting another package ready for him as soon as I start to feel better and "get with it" again!!
That's the kind of Mom Love I LOVE to shower our boys & girls with!!

If you will look on US 96.3 (radio station out of MS), they also have a note on there about these guys not getting any mail! Hopefully, we can get some more people on board!

Looked but couldn't find any info on troops. Was it about the MP's we adopted or a new group?

The MP's we adopted. I googled my adoptee's name and that radio station came up.

My VFW ladies out did themselves. We have a very small group (14) and we stuffed 2 priority mail boxes (lg) with goodies, Cards and pics of us! I found "my adoptee" on facebook and have been corresponding with him!

Suzy, We received this information on Dec. 6 and all were adopted. We don't know if they are still there. You can go to the website and adopt a small group there (mollysadoptasailor.com) Thanks for caring! Pat
