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 mom does this for my Grandma who lives in Nebraska. She doesn't do a poem, but she marks on each package "Do not Open until December 23" and so on. She only send little things that are really a necessity or very small items (shipping costs are outrageous!!). Socks, a new robe, some cute costume jewelry. A few years back she actually got all of the grandkids/great grandkids involved (there are more than 30 of us) and we each picked a day & gift to give her on that day. She got to open a package everyday in December leading up til Christmas. Maybe your boyfirends friends and family might want to get involved in your gift giving. If you just want to keep it only from you, then I would choose small items that don't weigh very much. Good Luck!

My hubby will be gone for Christmas! I am planning on doing Cake in a Jar, an ornament like you would do in grade school ya know something cheap so if it gets crushed in his locker it doesnt get too messed up lol but he can still see it everyday. Right now Vistaprint is having a bunch of stuff on sale you could look into getting some stuff done with pics of you guys I think they have a calendar or something for free! just pay shipping!

also if you make cookies or other baked goods not in a jar putting a piece of bread in the package helps keep them fresh longer and using freezer bags instead of regular ones!
I am gonna try to attempt Angel Food Cake in a jar... its his favorite! lol and I would love for him to get some for our anniversary... we will have to see tho :)
