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."

Hi Wheatonpup, We do a different adoption each month. Your sailor could go to our website and ask for a group to adopted. mollysadoptasailor.com The deployed person is the one who has to make the request due to coordination with Pat L (and Opsec) Carol

Hi Sally, You do this from your home. Select your budget, select what size box you want to ship (the large flat rate is more economical, although there have been months I only send an envelope from post office,) and select what you want to send. It's more fun if you have a friend or two over for coffee and brownies or lunch. You have about 3 weeks to write some chatty letters. then, it's pack n ship time! Ask us any questions! We mean, ANY. Carol
