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."

We have a plan... we'll mail the items to CarolP and $$ to help with postage and the name/address of sailors that need one... those of us that can will gather and pack the boxes on Nov 12th, they will go to the mail Nov. 14th... We are hoping to do about 30 boxes so please be on the look out for sailors in need... extras that we may have, we will contact "adopt a Sailor" and send them to those sailors. Thanks for all your help on this project!!
