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."

If you haven't set up Google Alerts, it's very easy to set up and you can get daily results for whatever you enter, i.e. "corpsman," "USS Mesa Verde" etc. I know Marsha uses it too.  Link: Google Alerts

To Everyone, the web site is www.navyrackpack.com/index.html.  I just want to make for sure,  Amanda is aka proudcorpsmanwife3, Marsha is aka Marcy~Corpsman Mom. Mikes Mom what is your name? But it is ok if you do not want to give it.

You've done your homework for sure!  

Purex 3-in-1 sheets are the laundry soap, I sent refill packs last year once he figured out how many he was using.  

Those Rack Pack curtains are great! I got one for my sailor last year. They darken the rack, have extra pockets for storage, and they embroider the last name for free, too.  The gal's name is Pat (she started the company, yay women business owners!) and she will know what size for your ship.  http://www.navyrackpacks.com - click on any link there to see the Details page.

To Everyone, This might help you all, you can send beef jerky, crackers, microwave mac and cheese, cup of soup, tin crackers, m and m's, I have forgot the name but the cloths detergent in a bag where you just throw in the washer, the little packages of water flavors, baby wipes and the other ones you can flush, brown or green (ask what color they want) t-shirts and socks. Later on they usually run out of detergent and personal bathroom items, lip balm, body powder, restaurant packs of ketsup, mayo, etc.,altoids or mints, disposable camera, chewing gum, phone cards, ziploc bags, gatorade, playing cards, dice, music cd's, spices, chips, cereal bars, koozies, newspapers, magazines, stress relief squeese balls, board games, icy/hot patches, ink pens. Last year my son told me not to send a lot of items at one time, because if they got 3 or more they had to exercise a lot. There is some web sites I got last year that send packages free. www.osotil.org, www.tunes4thetroops.com, www.backhomebox.com, www.opgratitude.com/index.php, www.operationshoebox.com, www.treatthetroops.org, www.bluestarmoms.org, www.militarymoms.net/sot.html, www.operationmilitarypride.org/smsignup.html. This one is REALLY  one they need because the only privacy they have is where they sleep. The curtain they have on the ship does not stay closed and I think Jeremy said it is thin. I will have to look up the web site, but it is called a navy rack pack. It is a curtain that hangs inside the other one with pockets and stays closed also you can not see through it. I will put the web site in when I find it. Hope this helps.
