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."

There are 330 aboard the ship and they need some Love for us, The Chaplain said they are inneed of something that will lift their spirits. They have been working long hours and little or no communications with the families at home. We all know how hard this can be on a person.

Here are the 35 I have ready for the mail on Monday. Sorry the top edge is so dark!! I am sending in 2 medium flat rate boxes. Couldn't get them all in a large flat rate, or find the large game board flat rate anywhere in town. Had room for a bag of tootsie roll pops in each box!
