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."

I am sorry Renee about the box mix up.
I email the post office, media affairs office and was told the medium boxes ARE FLAT rate but 10.95-can't understand WHY they wanted to charge you so much. I have about 17 boxes of T-shirts that I will be repacking.
And when at the post office I will bring the email I receive from the media affairs office an question WHY!!!!! the recruiter that came Sat. was told that he could NOT use those boxes...So I believe our postal clerks really DO NOT know the rules on mailing FPO and APO boxes.
I apologize for any and all inconvience that I may have caused anyone.
I am gonna choked it up to "lesson learned" We will only use LARGE boxes!!!
What a screw up at the postoffice!!!!
did you happen to markthe boxes TShirts? If you didn't no biggy.
Another thing..10,35 for the flat rate large boxes??? the boxes we packed in were Medium flat rate boxes....DAM this old lady is So confused
i will be repacking all the t-shirts boxes I have.
