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."

I an still trying to figure out how Navy for Mom's works. Where is the "MAS we ship love room"? I would love to write to those who get no mail. Thank you.

CDMom, I know it can be confusing at first but you will figure it out in no time. You have to request to join "MAS We Ship Love". To find it, go to "Groups" at the top of the page. Then in "Sort By", click on alphabetical, then go to page 24. Request to join and I know you will be approved (Guess why?......because I do it!! hahaha!) The reason we do it like this is to have a little security for our contacts addresses.
Any questions, LMK! Pat

Sitting here wondering if my adoptee got his package...hmmmm......My VFW Ladies Auxiliary is meeting Tuesday evening and we are putting together the large priority mail box for him! I'm sure those ladies will have some interesting goodies!!! My Sailor is home and wrapping up leave shortly. Was in the kitchen at work realizing that and almost had a cry fest...and they aren't even gone yet!

I haven't heard from my adoptee either--and hope it's not because the box did not arrive. Usually it's because of their work hours and details.
