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."

January, 2016 - A NEW YEAR......A NEW ADOPTION
Happy New Year from Molly's Adopt A Sailor!
Our January adoption is a group on the USS Russell. They are on an 8 month deployment to the Arabian Gulf. The group consists of 30 males and 30 females.
Pillowcases are a GO!
Wish List:
Cookies, beef jerky, granola bars, protein bars, sunflower seeds, drink mixes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, water bottles, small games, and paperbacks. Also cards and letters as many of these sailors are on their first deployment without family support.
Shipping dates are January 22 to 26.
Here's to another great year of sending our beloved troops some love from home!!

I am gathering you are using a serger. By hey not just use a three thread overlock to do the pillowcases that is what I use and it works great.

Hope all had a blessed holiday season. Sorry I've not been around but things are almost back to normal and I think my head is back in the game. Mom and I have not stopped making pillow cases so we have a stash. I see we have enough for this month. We also will make cookies and I have a box of paperbacks. We will also send cards. I will post again after we have our family game night and I make the pick up rounds.
We also might be getting help monthly from a "group" of very nice people. Can't say who yet don't want to jinx it. Prayers for the board passing the proposal next week.

We had some pillowcases promised on facebook, as well as I wanted to send 6. I think one lady has 5, and another group from MaryJayne offered. How do we want to do this, since somehow WSL got on this link? Hate to leave anyone out.

The postage and customs form are all one form now. Click 'n Ship should print out 2 sheets that you cut in half. Staple copy 1, 2,3 together and copy 4 is the senders copy.
