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."

Looks like we're going to have a few Cub Scouts join in for some packing party fun!  I'm going to their meeting on October 24th. 

I will be bringing items to pack since I still have some funds from my company's fundraiser.  The scouts will be bringing items to pack and card, letters and drawings.  Hopefully this is the beginning of a great partnership!  Fingers crossed!

So excited for you, the Scouts, and our troops. Take pictures!

YOU GO GIRL!!! Thanks!

Looks  like I have enough for a box for each group.  One box is , since it's got a lot of flip flops in it, and drink mixes. Postage means no beer from me for the Sailor when we go to visit him Saturday, lol.

Sending a box of handmade cards to each group.

That’s so good. Thanks.

Thank you Angela!

I have 5 boxes going out to group #1 and 6 boxes going out to group #2.  Thanks to the Cub Scouts for their help! 

I will post pictures soon.  But first, I have to print out Molly's stickers and address labels.  Making a post office run Saturday morning.

Wonderful. Can’t wait to see your pictures. Carol

Ready for some Cub Scout photos?

HOOYAH!!!!

Great job to all the Scouts!!

An email!  

Laura,

I am a SeaBee serving overseas. My group received a care package that you organized with Cub Scout pack 28. Thank you very much for thinking about us. We are very grateful and will put everything to use.

Regards,

PO1 R.D.
