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."

Hi Suzy...My sailor from this adoption is still there and has actually been asked to stay another 6-10 months, so I know the group is still there. I can ask him if he knows of anyone who is in need of mail or is in need of special "mom" love and care.

Thanks for adding the information. Not many of us heard back from this group to know if they were still there.

Joan, The names and addresses are in the "MAS We Ship Love" room. You have to request to join but I will approve you as soon as I see the request. Apparently they have been extended 6-10 months. Pat

I asked my adopted boy from here (they are Army) if anyone still needs mail. He didn't answer back, but he's not always too communicative. I"m guessing they are doing ok with mail by now. Not all of them are extending; just those who want to.
