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."

M.A.S. Special Hugs
I am going to say that July 12 is the "birthday" of this endeavor. July 13 it got named!!
"M.A.S. Special Hugs" - M.A.S. - for Molly's Adopt a Sailor!!!
From Molly: Hey Moms ---- we are having some wounded guys coming our way. Would you like to make a thread and those who would like to send a card or messages to our wounded ones.
If you know of someone in the military "hurting" and needing a "special hug" - PM me (Brenda Sue) the address and I'll post it in our "special place." I do ask that you keep us updated on the condition or change of address of anyone that has a lingering need.
OK - Mom's let's get this ball on the roll!!
I am going to keep these names in one place - so people don't have to read through hundreds of pages to find them. Go to MAS We Ship Love (Click Here) for the addresses. This is a private group - just ask to be a member and after you have been "checked out" - the powers that be accept you!
Please use the labels designed in the "Shipping Labels" discussion so they will be easily recognized!! You can either print these on stickers or just tape them to the envelopes. If neither is possible, just write Molly's Adopt a Sailor on the envelope - so they know where they are coming from.

Well I was able to get some baking done this weekend, so I am sending Pete a care package in time for Thanksgiving....I even sent some cake-in-a-jar (frosting too) so hopefully he'll be able to enjoy cake without it going stale!

It wasn't this past Tuesday, I think it's next Tuesday. Had a nice visit with Pete and my son on Monday and then he and Lily on Tuesday. He looks good, but tired, they're working him too hard. Settling into his new place. He's such a sweetie.

Brenda Sue, George Avinger isn't there. I mailed him a pillowcase in early November and it was returned to me in late November marked not there.
A special pillowcase is going out to Stacy tomorrow. It's the one that Zack would've received. -
