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."

I'm going to send some boxes not sure how many this month. It might be a packing Einstein's the making but we'll see.

I'm having a packing party next Wednesday. I'm doing a thing on FB for an item a day where I'm getting friends to commit to donate items from the wish list and I'm having a great response! I can't wait to see what all we ship!

Somehow I lost count as I was making cards for this group & have made 151. Wish I had recounted before writing in ALL of them. So my question is, should I send all of them to this POC and ask that they give the extras to another group OR is there another small group I can send these "Thanksgiving" theme cards to?

Your choice! I'm sure there are more soldiers in Kuwait that would love a card. OR I can send you the address of a group of sailors that just deployed. Just LMK!!!

This was an easy decision. My heart says to ask you for the count and address of the sailors just deployed. I have supplies left over to make more cards by the ship date. My son-in-law is on his 2nd deployment for this year. This has been great for me because my active duty daughter calls & texts me 3 to 5 times a week, instead of 2 x a month. Already cutting cards for the Nov. adoption . . . aiming for 230 plus!

No, I started making cards on my own specifically for MAS adoptees the first month I joined MAS in Jan 2012. I have made most of the 3,000 from the stacks of scrapbooking paper I hoarded back in 2005 to 2010. I go to yard sales specifically to look for envelopes and/or Christmas cards. I'm self-taught. Will have to google OWH.
