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."

Peg, if you included your email in your box to the sailors, you may want to keep an eye out in your bulk or junk email folders. navy.mil and army.mil email addresses always go to my bulk/junk email folder untill I add the specific sailor's address to my safe list or address book.

okay Staci, you need to find out if the PX is also a Nex (navy exhange) that way we look into your bike idea that way. Did you remind them that our adoption program is for the month of March only, then we as a group move on to another group of sailor.

What do you guys think here ? I am hearing more of the DVD's would be best instead of the bike.--- Lets see what he says about his friend getting a bike. And then I think the final decision should go to Momma Pat :)

I have a question.. Our SW PA moms are meeting on March 29th. Should I wait and send for April's group? Or go ahead and send for March's group? We are including Easter items in the box , so how would the time constraint be for shipping? This will be the first time we send anything. Thanks :)
