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."

Got it.
Today is the first day in about 2 weeks that I haven't gotten mail from some team. Felt kind of disappointed when I went to the mailbox!
Talked to my neighbor today, she is going to watch for and take in any BIG envelopes or packages that come when I go to NY & while my son is at work. She was so excited about the project, she couldn't offer to do enough!! Maybe she'll help at our next packing party or the sewing event.

Well, looks like the Cardinals did not want to put much into this effort. I'll try and hit the mall this weekend and get something to send with the one lapel pin, 5 stickers and dozen player facts cards. Still, it's better than nothing! As I recall, our local truck stop has some postcards.

Got in touch with the guy from the Orioles again and he said he sent the fanpacks out in the mail today. So hopefully, they will get here in a couple of days. And I got only a logo sticker from the Reds. So like Carol, I will see if I can find something around town to send. Wish me luck though. We usually have more Tiger and Indian stuff around here.

Congratulations Lauren!! It is looking good. Don't worry, whatever we get we will send along whether it is a little or a lot. I'm sure the Marines will enjoy whatever we've gathered. Some teams have gone more overboard than expected which is fine, but even if it isn't "overboard" it is something ... and that's what counts.

Should we go shopping together, Krista? I'll be in St Louis on Sat. for a lunch meet and greet.
