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."

February, 2017 Adoption - Air Force in Africa
The February adoption is Air Force in Africa consisting of 24 males. Due to OPSEC restrictions, our Contact could not share what this group does. They live in tents and have electricity. Also they have a microwave and a refrigerator. They do have access to phones and the internet, so no phone cards are needed.
Pillowcases are a "GO" BUT due to an overflow from last month, they are covered!
Wish List:
Coffee (ground or instant)
Cookies
Beef jerky
Granola bars
Ramen noodles
Macaroni & cheese cups
Small games
Things to do on their down time (ie footballs, etc.)
Shipping will be February 20 to 23.

Thanks, Pat. Do you think this logo represents this group? I always try to add a picture of the ship or a logo of some type on my poster and newsletter.

Tamme, Our Contact was pretty tight-lipped! But they are Air Force in Africa so pretty sure this would work!
