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."

Hooray for our troops and for our Molly, the leader with the biggest ♥ ever! The daily and monthly outpourings of love and support among the Molly's Adopt a Sailor members is a constant source of joy. I'm so grateful to be able to take part, it's like a 24/7 party to support our troops. The love that goes into each care package is amazing. So from Scottsdale AZ, thanks to Pepsi for funding "refreshing" ideas, and thanks for all you do Molly - how sweet it is!!!

I met MAS only one year ago and learned of the wonderful mission this organization brings. I was first approached to help with a newsletter...then Pepsi voting began...then my first packing party...then BANGO STRAIGHT TO THE HEART - I received my first letter from the troops. HOOKED EVER SINCE! What a beautiful place to be surrounded by hearts of gold and unselfish giving of all the moms. Happy Birthday to all the moms of MAS and THANK YOU!
