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."

Mine left on 12/1, got the call at 2:15am. This past week has been really hard. I'm not generally an overly emotional person but I haven't been able to stop crying. Hoping this gets easier!!

I know! I think I would be doing much better with this if I could just talk to him. I'm sure everyone feels that way though. I haven't gotten his box yet. I did see another mom say that she received the box on Friday (her SR left on 12/1 also) so hopefully I'll get mine today!

Mine left on the 1st too and we got the box Friday and the form letter today. I can't wait to talk to him!
Lots of anxiety lately. Anyway, keep us posted. My son is ship 12, DIV 078.

Turns out my SR sent his box to his grandparents house. I moved recently because of my job so I'm thinking that he doesn't have my address memorized. However, my mom is forwarding the box to me so all is good!! I'm sure the form letter will go to their house too...UGH!!! lol. I will keep in touch. Maybe they'll be in the same division :)

Uh oh! Well, at least you know now. FedEx delivers but if you are not home they should leave a sticker on your door. We went to the FedEx office to pick it up because we did not want to wait another day and we would most likely not be there.
