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."

I am going to get a big ol' stack when I am back in Pittsburgh and have all the people from my parent's 50th write notes on them! This will cover Pennsylvania in a big way. I have more from Washington that I will be sending out too.

I will semd some from MA, but where do I send them to? That has been the biggest issue I've had with this site. I love to write cards and letters. Most of the sailors and soldiers I know are headed back to the States and I wanted to get involved with this group, BUT I can't find who or where to send anything to. I'm at the frustration point and am considering just "un-joining" if that is even a word. I won't get any postcards until I hear from someone - anyone, about what to do once they are ready.
Please, someone answer me,

Welcome Donna!!
We post the addresses in another group... a bit of a nuisance but it is for the protection of the groups we are mailing to... join the MAS we send love group and you will see all the addresses posted in discussions there.
I also love to write to the troops... it is amazing that every time we hear from the troops the thing they like the most is the cards and letters we send! -
