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."

Wounded Marines
They will be in Afghanistan until Feb 2011 and it will be a continuing need.
Conditions/Requests : Conditions- Very dusty and smells like you know what!
Electricity- Some how lucky to have good 'ol 110V.
We live in fabricated metal buildings packed in tight.
Have small fridge/freezers, very few microwaves around.
I rep for our unit- 3 Naval Construction Regiment from Marietta, Ga.
Most of us are all from predominately southeast, then east coast with a
couple sprinkled in from as far as California.
We are not picky by any means, actually we are in awe of those willing
to support us. What ever people are willing to send we apprecaite
goodies, snacks, coffee and anything else.
We also are adopting the wounded warriors that come through our base for medical care, they could
use way more! They come here with only what is on their backs during
battle. Sometimes loosing some of that.
Socks, towels, shower shoes, sheets would be a great way to make them comfortable again while they
heal before returning to the fight.Also magazines and videos or any
other form of entertainment. If you can help them first they have a
greater need, spread the word, send it to me as point of contact and I
will guarantee swift delivery to their bedsides...
I will provide the address, off list, to anyone who needs it.

Hi There, If you check out the discussion on Molly's Adopt a Sailor titled Wounded Marines ( I think that's the title) you can get the updated information. They have taken over this group as an ongoing project. Sue will be starting new adoptions in the very near future, so keep sewing and we will have a home for them very soon.

Lyn is right. I actually have a marine who will be deploying early next year and he is in charge of a battilion. He will be like major doug was for us. so start sewing and saving, cause our troops need our help.
