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."

2 boxes of pillowcases for me--but 2 people at post office laughed at my definition of "flat." 3 more boxes of pillowcases from New Mexico sewing group.

We already received this (Tuesday) from our June Adoption.....
Marianne,
We just left Guam. It was humid there, but it rained often. I
had never been before this, so I enjoyed it. While we were there we
started receiving boxes from Molly's Adopt a Sailor. We received about
25 of them. We put them out on the mess decks so that all of our
Sailors would have an opportunity to enjoy something from them. Almost
everything was gone in about an hour. Everything sent was very much
appreciated. We will send some pictures as soon as we can figure out
how to get them from our camera to the computer network on the ship.
One of the most liked items was the patriotic pillow cases. They were
one of the first things gone. Thank you for all of the support for us
out here. I hope you are enjoying your rainy day there, I love the
rain.
