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."

My son left on the 8/25 and we got his box on 8/31.It came while I was at work and my husband opened it. Rather glad I didn't have to empty it. I would have cried, AGAIN! No letter as of yet, I'm hoping it comes in the next couple days.

FedEx does deliver to our area for sure. In her quick phone call she said she would be sending it to us.

Hopefully today or tomorrow then. Just not sure why the addres wouldn't be in the system. But I will try and be patient.

Oh okay. I will let her know once I I know her address what the issue I am having then. Probably not much she can do but at least she knows we may have to buy a new phone

I just called fedex and still had nothing in there. It may be sitting in some room at BC and didn't get picked up or dropped off

Good news today. I did receive "the box" via FedEx; However, they did not have the address in the system. I had to pick it up because I missed the delivery this afternoon.

My son left for Boot Camp on 8/27 and arrived in the wee hours of 8/28. I still have not received his box. I am so anxious. How long does it normally take?

Three to four business days after arrival is typical, but it can take longer at times.

Thanks so much for the information lemonelephant!. I received my "kid in a box" yesterday. It was very bittersweet for me and made it much more real. I look forward to receiving the form letter so I can move forward with the PIR arrangements.
