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.

beautiful Pillow.....just beautiful! Good news on Cory....he is feeling much better and eating! Things took a turn for the better! I found my Facebook password so now i can keep up with them myself rather than thru another source. My other source had originally had said he lost both legs but now the updates say he is up and walking with a cane so i need to clarify! i do know he had a lot of shrapnel in his body and had some skin grafts done on his hands and arms. hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas!

Just got great news on Cory! He made it back to his home state and is in a medical facility. He is doing very well, even gained 3 of the 40 lbs he lost back. When I get home I will send his new addy.
