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."

Ok I guess we will send 10 unless someone else wants to send some. Going to try and build up a stash for the fall as I will be going to see my sailor for 3 weeks. Then I will be home one week and off to North Carolina for my niece's wedding. September can not come fast enough this year. Well not to fast I do need my beach days.

If you want to save yours for future adoptions PA Mom that will be fine. Someone on Facebook had said they would send some for July.
