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."

So, is it OK to included our crocheted scarfs in our own boxes that we ship or should they still be mailed to the address you gave me? Thanks, just want to get it right.

Yes, please send them directly to our adopted sailors. Just let me know how many you are sending so I can add them to the total count. Thanks.Lyn

OK, my latest count is a total of 16 scaves, my mom did 3 and I did 13. I'm flying to Chicago for Thanksgiving and have yarn for probably 5 more, so I should be able to get them done by the time I'm back....I also have another friend knitting, but don't have her count yet...hopefully soon.
These are being sent to the December seabee group right...so I can send a box of scarves and a box of hot choc/coffee etc to the same place right? -

Yup, they all go to the same place. You guys are really great. Thanks so much!

Wow, things are hoppin' now! Count me as two scarves done (knitted). I will work through the postings and group to figure out where and when to send to the SeaBees, and what else I can send besides the scarves and letter. This is a great group!! I appreciate the chance to show my appreciation for our military!!

Check out the discussions on the rest of MAS and you will get some ideas for things to send. I would suggest maybe sending some packets of Hot Chocolate to go with the smores and Christmas stockings. Anything small they can stuff into the stockings would also be great.
