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."

Consignee needed in Japan

Hello,

My name is Stace Pagel. I am the Cubmaster of Pack 445 in Friendswood, TX, USA. We have gotten together 4 cubic meters of humanitarian items for shipment to Japan. We have a way to get it there (currently by ship, as that's all we can afford). The problem is, we cannot find a consignee (somone to sign for a distribute our freight).

Items include coats, blankets, water, baby clothing, clildren's clothing adult clothing, sanitary items, (napkins, soap, diapers, tooth paste, ect), and even a very nice water filtration system with enough filters to last a full month in a shelter of 150 people.

A fello scouter in California, also has many items to donate. His donations were on a much larger scale, but basically, they have the same things, just include tents, as well as care packages from the girl scouts.

Can You help by either
- Finding us a consignee in Japan
- or Acting as the consignee, (be sure you can sign for and distribute the freight)

By the way, I fully appreciate the hard efforts your boys and girls put forth every day so that the rest of the world is a bit safer. I know Japan is in need, even if they won't admit it. As an aside, The USS George Washington struck a chord with me, as I am related to Martha Custis Washington (Wife of George) on my mother's side. I am very proud of everyone on that ship. Neither of my boys are old enough to join the military. I have one that is 11, and another that is 7. If you cannot help personally, please send this on to someone aboard the ship.

Best Regards,

Stace Pagel
