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."

*** Cookie Call***
YES, We are at it again!!
Do you want to bake cookies for Sailors?
Florida Moms are planning on welcoming home **DUSTY'S DOGS** that's right, our very own adoptees. We would LOVE to give them all the HUGS and WARM LOVE that Molly's Mom's have to offer, with a cookie! If you are able to bake some cookies, please let me know!
We will be individually wrapping each cookie and placing a "Welcome Home" Label on each one!
All cookies will be "carefully" mail to my house and taken up to Jacksonville so that they can be handed out and "consumed" by Dusty's Dogs!
Please email me @ berland1@msn.com or Molly~mgisi@mollysadoptasailor.com
If you are interested and we will let you know the date that the cookies need to arrive in Florida!!!
We would LOVE the cookies to be as fresh and warm as possible!
So if you are able, leave your name and the amount below, I will come in every couple of days and keep a count.
Thanks!
Diane ♥

What you see up above is what the label for the cookies looks like!....

Hubby works for Nestle, so expect chocolate chip coming from central Illinois! He bought me a Kitchenaide for Christmas last year so I could keep up with my chocolate chip cookie demand!! This one's gonna be easy and tons of fun!
I am thinking a piece of bubble wrap on the bottom, cookies upright to form a "roll", more bubble wrap between layers and on the very top -- easily you could get -- gosh, I'm betting 8-12 dozen OR MORE in a box! How many Dusty Dogs are we talking here? -
