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."

Hello to all! The recent activity is fun to see! Maybe you have been shopping like me and making up your boxes? Our shipping week is next week already! Please post how many boxes you are sending when you send them. And, if you haven't already, please share how many bandanas and fabric markers you are sending.
Also, some of the crew does not yet know about this adoption. The surprise and joy on their faces and in their hearts will be wonderful! All thanks to you fantastic Molly members! -

Hi! I bought 7 bandanas and two fabric puffy paint bottles. I also have some magazines and puzzle books to send. I'd like to mail them Monday, where do I mail to?

I will be out of town the 17th through the 24th. Do you want me to mail earlier or later?

Whit's Mom, Laura will be out of town so I am going up to her church to grab the things they have collected on the 22nd.. Have no idea yet how much they have but going to try to get it packed and shipped on the 23rd. If they have a lot (which they have in the past) might not get it all shipped until the 25th. So anyway, I may be a few days late!

Whit's Mom (Ann)- It makes no difference to me if you ship early or late. Please tell me what you do so I can keep a box count and share with our POC if boxes will be early/late. He will no doubt hold back the early boxes for a little bit. Thank you!

I mailed a box today filled with jerky, slim jims and a few individual bags of pretzels to fill in the gaps.

I picked up 20 plain white bandanas and a package of Sharpie fabric markers this morning.

Woohoo! Thank you Kim (Ethan's Mom)!
We are now up to a total of 72 bandanas and 2 packages of fabric markers! Is anyone else getting bandanas or fabric markers? We need 75 bandanas (now we just need 3 more!) and a few sets of markers to go around.

I'll pick up more markers. Mi also picked up some magazines and puzzle books.

I didn't realize we were so close or I would've grabbed 3 more! If I need to, I can go back to get 3 more. I want to make sure everyone has one.
