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."

After going back to the post office to get some Prority Flat Rate Boxes to mail to a PO Box in Guam, the post office is now saying they overcharged me on the last 3 boxes that I sent to the FPO address......They say I should have only paid $10.95 per box for the three I shipped...They charged me $122 for all 3 boxes....Of course, they are not going to refund any of that...I just wish they would get their act together and keep it one way....Tyler now has a P O Box in Guam...so I'm mailing out some boots and jeans....we'll see if they get there in less than 10 weeks....Also got to go file a claim for that missing camera....sorry...just needed to vent....hope everyone has a great weekend!

I would suggest to your son to
A. Get a PO Box on base
B. ship the check to a friends house that lives in a house with a street and he can trust.

I haven't had any trouble with the packages I send - they take about a week and seem to arrive intact. I always lowball the value on the customs form so its not too tempting. I hope I haven't jinxed myself since I just sent a package yesterday.

Tyler finally received all his care packages, including his computer, no camera in any of the packages...guess someone in Customs needed that....packages arrived in Guam 10 1/2 weeks after mailing priority mail....guess I won't be sending any more care packages...will just deposit $$$ for him to buy snacks....

We have been lucky sending things priority mail....knock on wood. Every package I have sent has only taken about a week. I have not sent an major/expensive items though. Good luck to everyone.

Same here Donna.....everyone seems to think this is "someone else's" job....

Did you send it with delivery confirmation? On the customs form did you indicate it was a computer and a camera? If you did the packages are more than likely gone and I hope you have insurance. Did you send them to an FPO address or a street address. Boat mail can take longer sometime. Tell your PO Guam is NOT considered international. I hate when they start that BS.
