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."

November 2013 Adoption… USS RENTZ FFG-46

Jingle Bells… Jingle Bells… Jingle and the way to the Crew of the

USS RENTZ

3 Females and 240 Males Aboard

We are heading back to sea and sending out love out to the USS Rentz FFG 46. They are currently assisting the Coast Guard performing drug enforcement off the coast of South America. They are about midway of their eight-month deployment and ready for some love from home!

We would like to send each sailor a small VHS sized box filled and wrapped as a Christmas gift to be opened on Christmas morning. If you pack them carefully you can fit eight of this smaller box in a large FPO box. That is a total of 300 VHS boxes... are you ready moms??

Pillowcases are a go! They will have them set out for the guys to choose from on Christmas day.

Remember it is warm where they are- still in the 90 degree range every day! So there is no need of warm hats or gloves for this group... even Santa will want to slip into his bathing suit for this delivery!

Let's show them our mom love and send the very best for the Christmas Hannuka Kwanza Holiday… Season
