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."

Moms,

I'm proud to announce our February Adoption of the USS Mason DDG-87. They are about half way through a nine month deployment in the Gulf/Mediterranean region.

 

Let's provide these sailors with a Mardi Gras celebration - color theme is purple, green and gold. I will send the beads, let's send them masks and decorations in the spirit of this party!

 

This crew consists of 250 men and 75 women and pillowcases are a go :)

 

Following is a list suggestions from our contact:

  • Letters from home first and foremost
  • Chocolate chip cookies or your favorite cookie
  • Brownies
  • DVD's
  • Any games - card, board, etc.

 

Anything you send will be greatly enjoyed and appreciated!!

Let's show them some Molly Mom Love!

 

Ship Date: February 19 - 24th     

 

 Please indicate on the box if you are including decorations so our contact can prepare the area

Congrats to your sailor! The cookies are awesome! I agree that they will be a big hit!

Thanks Pat and Kim - these were a lot of fun to make!

go ahead and send it - it will be appreciated :)

I've got one box that has some candy and 10 pillow cases going out tomorrow. Sorry for the late shipment, but we have been traveling back to Nashville quite a bit this last week or so because of work and an ailing family member, who passed this last weekend. Just wanted to make sure y'all had a correct count to give the POC.

Rec'd an update from our contact,  He writes:

We have received about 70 boxes so far and the crew loves them the
pillowcases went like hotcakes please pass on to the rest of the moms
that my fellow shipmates and I appreciate everything you are doing for
us and wouldn't be here with out amazing people like you.

Very Respectfully,
OS2 KP
USS MASON DDG-87
