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."

It is awesome to see the huge response. I have pillow cases to cover all but will send what ever is needed. I was also given a ton of hotel sized body wash shampoo and conditioners most are form top of the line elite hotels (they really smell good) Do you think they are to small to send? I can most likely fill an entire box with soaps and deodorant. I was also given almost 600 DVD's that I have been adding to each box if anyone knows of any other places that could use a good movie or ten let me know. Hope you all had a very blessed Thanksgiving

We have some pillowcases already on Facebook Molly's Adopt a Sailor. The DVD's might be good for a Fisher House, VA, or such. Maybe even a nursing home.
I'll let Pat tell you if the soaps are good to go. Carol

Would you want to send 14 pillowcases or wait for the next adoption? I have 22 promised but another said she could send some if needed.
