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."

Looks like we're going to have a few Cub Scouts join in for some packing party fun! I'm going to their meeting on October 24th.
I will be bringing items to pack since I still have some funds from my company's fundraiser. The scouts will be bringing items to pack and card, letters and drawings. Hopefully this is the beginning of a great partnership! Fingers crossed!

Looks like I have enough for a box for each group. One box is , since it's got a lot of flip flops in it, and drink mixes. Postage means no beer from me for the Sailor when we go to visit him Saturday, lol.

Laura,
I am a SeaBee serving overseas. My group received a care package that you organized with Cub Scout pack 28. Thank you very much for thinking about us. We are very grateful and will put everything to use.
Regards,
