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."

Is there an address for the ship?  I will start getting some boxes together up here!  Thanks!  Susan in AK  

Susan, Sent you a PM! Happy 4th!

Hey Trip!!!  I didn't know you were here too!!  Nice to see you again, I've missed chatting with you!!!

Hey back my sister!  I was so busy with work, then possible layoffs, then unexpected shoulder surgery!  i'm typing with one hand for the next several weeks  :)  Funding for the job was sorted out so all is good on that end as well.  finally off pain meds so i have a clear head :)  will be around more now.  

Thanks Pat!!! 

hugs!!  

Susan, Welcome Back! We are thrilled to have you back with us!!!

Getting excited for this shipping! I have several friends pitching in as well!! :)

Thanks Susan! I've been busy packing too! Want to have it finished before my sailor comes home on Thursday afternoon!!!! HOOYAH!!!! My niece is getting married this weekend and it has been 2 years since ALL 4 of my kids have been together. Let the PARTY BEGIN!!!

Anyway, I have 4 boxes packed. 3 boxes are "girlie" stuff and 1 box is snacks from their wish list!

I bought a bunch of toiletries and snacks and put together gallon ziplocs for each of them!  They will get shampoo, lotion, chap stick, shower poof, shower gel, snacks, cookies; I made brownies and vacuum sealed them and froze them.  Also got a box of oatmeal packets from costco and will send those too.  Don't worry, all the toiletries are in ziplocs, separate from the food.  Just waiting for the larger boxes to be delivered from the post office.  It's fun doing "girl stuff" for a change!

WOW!!! Thank you so very much! This is a first for Molly's, doing all girls! I think it has been fun, too!

My box is filled with trail mix, 4 cups of gum, toothbrushes and paste, really good samples from our nutrition store, and 4 razors, plus some pods laundry detergent.  Add 4 pillowcases since the facebook person is sending 6.  Sounds like we have some nice boxes going out! 

You rocked it! Thanks sister!

Good idea about the laundry pods-I will have to remember that for next time!!
