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."

Molly had the GREAT idea to send some N4M love to some of our military that are "hurting".
I am going to say that July 12 is the "birthday" of this endeavor. July 13 it got named!!
"M.A.S. Special Hugs" - M.A.S. - for Molly's Adopt a Sailor!!!

From Molly: Hey Moms ---- we are having some wounded guys coming our way. Would you like to make a thread and those who would like to send a card or messages to our wounded ones.

If you know of someone in the military "hurting" and needing a "special hug" - PM me (Brenda Sue) the address and I'll post it in our "special place." I do ask that you keep us updated on the condition or change of address of anyone that has a lingering need.

OK - Mom's let's get this ball on the roll!!

I am going to keep these names in one place - so people don't have to read through hundreds of pages to find them. Go to MAS We Ship Love (Click Here) for the addresses. This is a private group - just ask to be a member and after you have been "checked out" - the powers that be accept you!

Please use the labels designed in the "Shipping Labels" discussion so they will be easily recognized!!

You can either print these on stickers or just tape them to the envelopes. If neither is possible, just write Molly's Adopt a Sailor on the envelope - so they know where they are coming from.

Just to let you know that Todd S has had his up and down days. He got our box with LLove's pillowcase and another halloween card. His Mom is looking for and thinks she will be able to lease a handicapped accessible home to move to. They lost their car to an accident and hope the insurance will cover a down payment on something that Todd will be able to learn to drive. He got a dog that can pull his wheelchair a short distance, and they are looking into training the dog as a therapy dog. However, from the pix I have received, he already is doing therapy, sleeping with "his boy."
Blessings to all.
Im excited about meeting Pete this weekend as he comes to Portand on his drive to SD

Prayers and good wishes for a safe drive for Pete as he is doing this alone. Ugggg Stubborn little sailor he is ---

After our mailing to Afghanistan in a few weeks Im thinking lets ask everyone to write to our Special Hugs kids until January comes.

Great idea Molly, I'll start writing! I, too, am excited about meeting Pete - good thing he's stopping, we were ready to track him down for in person Mom hugs!
Molly and Vickie, Be sure to give our sailor a big hug from one of his other moms. I'm so glad he is visiting you on the way to SD. Was going to suggest a detour to Chicago but thought that was a bit much!!heehee!!
yeah, he could come thru AZ. haha. Enjoy talking to him.
Not to worry, Pat and Sue, he's not going to escape without lots of hugs!
Pete will be offline for a couple of days until he gets set up in his new digs... We will have to keep track of him by phone for now! Hear us Pete??? Safe travels!
Vickie, give him a hug for me! Please. Lily too. Or give her lots of "pets".
I will Sue, and I'll pass on the message that you told me to! For Lily too.
My sailor Tucker and I are heading down in a few hours to meet Pete :)
Looking forward to passing out hugs ~~~
