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."

Holidays for Djibouti in June 2011
Ladies, we are going to Africa! These kids are a group of Seabees (NMCB 74 DET 11). They have been away from home since November and they have missed the holidays back home. Sooooo, we are going to give them what they have been missing. Christmas, New Years, Ground Hog, Valentines, St Patricks, April Fools, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Independence Day and Birthdays and any other holiday that we can think of. We can send them decorations for each holiday. Maybe some of the packing parties can adopt a holiday and go all out!
They live in Clu's which are connex boxes molded into rooms. They would love pillowcases so lets see about getting them a little bit of home for their rooms. They have microwaves, fridge and freezer access. They can get most of what they need from their NEX. Two things they would love… energy drinks and toothpaste other than Colgate! (the only brand they can get) They say they really do not 'need' anything. They would love to have cards and letters, so lets get them cards and letters from each of the holidays that they have missed.
It is very, very hot there and it is 110 to 120 degrees. So lets try to get them some neck coolers and some freeze pops and maybe some of those hand held mist fans would be something to help ease the heat.
There are 150 with the breakdown of 130 males and 20 females.
We will be mailing June 23 thru the 28th!

Brenda Sue, wow, 150 neck coolers! I am impressed. I really need to make a few and get comfortable with the process of sew, fill, sew, fill, sew, fill.... It shall be fun to use up those odds and ends of cute fabric I still have.
The Oregon Party was so much fun. Watching those young men and lady get into the whole packing, making cards wrapping was inspiring. They won't soon forget those ladies (and gentleman) in those bright pink shirts.
