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."

Brenda Sue,
How is it going with the TX Rangers? Let us know if you need some help, OK? I know you are one busy lady.
Talked to a very sweet gal in the MN Twins office and they were thrilled to help out. Not sure how much yet or what - but she was excited to do what ever that could be done and had such praises for MAS!! Told her we moms sometimes sleep with our boots on! She laughed.
Minnesota Twins Box of "stuff" is set to arrive here early next week, was going to have my ST Paul Cop daughter stop by and pick it up, but with her schedule and the drive down there it would not work, so they are sending it here. Will post pics when it does.
Should have gone after the Fargo-Moorhead Red Hawks, too - but we are gearing up right now to fight the flood again.
I will create a MAS Thank you card and send, hopefully there will or might be a photo of the unit with all the Cool Baseball stuff and bright smiles that I will be able to incorporate in the thank you card.
You know how to create a MAS thank you card??? I was going to go to Hallmark's today, but maybe I should wait for you to display your creativity instead! I don't have a creative bone in my body, I can follow someone else's directions, but "create"? me? No way!
Thanks again for going after the Twins for fun items!
Hi Everybody! I'm still trying to get in touch (again) with the Braves & Brewers. Any word from the Rangers, Brenda Sue??
I'm leaving for NY Tues. night to be at the hospital Wed. AM when my DIL will be induced. Samantha Jo is officially 2 weeks overdue...
I will try again today to reach these last few of mine, but can anyone take over if I can't get thru? I'll give you the phone #'s. My hubby says that I really, really have to pack! I told him - tomorrow! So he said I can have one last day to try and get things tied up, but then I have to settle down to things at hand. He shouldn't worry - I know what I plan to put in my suitcase, it may be thrown in, but it'll be there when I need it. LOL
Grand-daughter NYPD....wooooo so excited..you best CALL me when that baby arrives!!!!!!!
Just got a phone call from Lauren. She will go out and try to purchase a couple of items from any team we aren't getting thru to. She wants you to send her a message so she will know whom she should look for. With her permission:
onlylauren59 at (put in @) yahoo dot (.) com
She said she is on a mission!!
I hope you all understand that addy! Had some problems and Admin recommended spelling out symbols as there is no software available now to pick up an addy if you do that. Also, recommends spelling out the numbers for phones and cells, but don't put a hyphen between the numbers.
Just an FYI
