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."

Please help me find the address I mail my box off to. AND, do I include the letters I write inside the box as well? This will be my first shipment!!! Yeah!
I will include information from the letters I sent my son on his first deployment from a file of about 80 pages. Do I write on the front of the envelopes for them to give to sailors that aren't receiving mail? I want this distributed well.

To have access to the address, please join "MAS We Ship Love." As soon as I see the request, I will approve you. We do it this way to provide a little security for our Contacts. (If you can't find, LMK. If all else fails, I will send it to you. LOL!)
Yes, include the letters inside the box. The Contact person knows to distribute everything received to the members of his group.
Hope this will be your first of many adoptions!!
