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."

Ladies, I have 16 small boxes with a pillowcase, energy shot, and a variety of snacks in each ready to be mailed out tomorrow morning.
I'm still working on pillowcases to send, so I will give a count after I seal the box. My older son and his roommate have given me a pile of magazines to send if that is OK, they were glad that someone could get some use out of them. I also have extra snacks, (beef sticks, goldfish crackers, gum) that I may send if you think that would be good idea also. -

The count is above... I am going to go back to the other page and see if I have missed some... hoping people are finishing pillowcases and packing this week... I know some moms have been busy working on pillowcases and just not posted a number yet... most moms want to be sure of a final count before posting...
I am keeping a list of who has sent what so if you want to post that you are sending 12 and then come up with more I can adjust the count up!!! Come on ladies let's stand up and be counted!!! -
