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."

Ft Hood Units-the rest of them!
Moms: I have been in contact with 3 ladies from Ft Hood and they are going to be getting me the information on the Units that were involved in the November 5 attack.
I should have the first unit by Wednesday of next week, and will keep everyone posted. So far here is what I do have.
9 more Fallen these will be going to S.O.S at fort hood and she will send them on to the Families
11 wounded I will have a list next week and these will go to the FRSA (Family Readiness Support Administrator) and she will pass them out.
There are several more units from Ft Hood that are deployed and several that are leaving here really soon.
I am not sure all the numbers but as I get them I will let everyone know.
Lyn, when I get the names of the fallen can you make the pillowcases for them just like you did before? There is no rush on them.
I will keep you all posted Maryellen
Unit #1:
The first group at Ft Hood will be the 20th Engineer Battalion; I don't have all the numbers but should have them by Wednesday of next week. In this group there will be a need for care packages also. Sharron the FRSA told me she knows that there are several of them that get NO mail from home and need a little TLC. I asked her to get us a name and address and I will see what we can do to get some Navy Mom Love to them.
God opened this door for me yesterday and I went through it. We will be having a lot of contacts for Ft Hood so I prayed last night that God will give us what we need to get the job done. I am so proud that I am a part of this group. I will keep you posted on numbers as soon as I get them. ME

Maryellen, I will do anything I can to help!
Do we still need to be holding the Haiti cases back? If not, I have 42 ready to go. If we are still saving, I have 12. -

Maryellen, I have some pillowcases in my stash. I won't have time to do any sewing until after Wednesday this coming week. I will be busy sampling dishes, looking at wedding cakes and flowers. :)

Ladies, hold the Haiti cases still, Dori is working on a new group that will get those. Sampling dishes for a wedding-sounds like fun!

this sounds great, Maryellen. Also, if there's any ideas on the care package items? usual stuff or with the need for some TLC maybe there's something they really need? thanks.

ME and I talked about the no mail soldiers. We will mail the pcs as a whole, but will then ask if any moms would like to write individual letters to the non mail getters.
Looking forward to getting these units! -
