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."

Am I to understand that at this point we still need 229 more cases? Just so everyone here knows. I will not let any one of those sailors down. And I am personally committed to keep sending cases until the count is down to 0. It may take me a month but by golly I will see to it.

I know how you feel... I sent over 80 pillowcases myself! Our first goal was to send to those sailors that do not get mail... then we enlarged it to send one to every sailor... though we fell short of every sailor aboard, we have successfully sent Molly mom love to the sailors that do not receive mail! Can you imagine in just three short weeks what we alone accomplished?!?!?!
