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."

May Adoption-"Batter Up!"
May is here and it's time for our May adoption.
Our group this month is a Black sea Rotational Task Force. They are a Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force, and yes, you guessed it, they are deployed in or around the Black Sea! They consist of 350 males and 5 females.
Our theme this month will be "baseball". Let's see if we can send some love and a little piece of home to brighten their day and their spirits. Be as creative as you like. Maybe you can add an item with your favorite team's MLB logo on it. Some ideas might be a baseball hat, water bottle, baseball cards/gum packs, etc.
So, let's get motivated Moms, and hit this one outta the ballpark!!!
Needs:
*razors
*insoles for boots
Wants:
*snack foods(all types)
*DVDs
*books and magazines
*pretty much anything else!
*pillowcases are okay to send
We will concentrate on sending bulk boxes, instead of individuals.
Don't forget letters and cards.
We will ship on May 19-22.
