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."

April, 2015 Adoption

For April, we are going to adopt the small groups from the website. They are numbered and the number will be the same for their address post in "MAS We Ship Love." We will start shipping on April 25.

Miguel - Navy - 10 males & 1 female - They have requested air fresheners, snacks, razors, shaving cream, games, and playing cards. Pillowcases are a go.

Anthony - Navy - 5 males - They requested microwave food, snacks, and water bottles. Pillowcases are a go.

Alexis - Navy - 1 female - This request was sent to me by Anthony because Alexis never gets any mail. Let's send her some "girlie" stuff and let her know she is appreciated.

Michael - Marines - 6 males - They requested air fresheners, snacks, and toiletries. They also specifically requested pillowcases!

Brandon - Navy - 10 males & 10 females - They requested sunflower seeds, air fresheners, beef jerky, hand sanitizer, candy, popcorn, and movies. Pillowcases are a go.

Brianna - Navy - 40 males & 17 females - They requested microwave food, candy, chips, nuts, and snacks. Pillowcases are a go.

Phylicia - Navy - 20 males & 10 females - They requested shampoo, conditioner, laundry pods, Clorox wipes, cookies, candy, coffee, ranch sunflower seeds, games, deodorant, body wash, and snacks. Pillowcases are a go.

Please choose a group and let's send them some love from home!
