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."

This is an army unit. In fact, it is the army unit that we had planned to mail with the CEB but things didn't work out for that.
I have a new POC and she is excited to help. I do not have a specific number as yet, but she said around 400, with 20-30 females.
I am scheduling 2 waves at this point in time, beginning next week. This unit has been there since last fall and still have months to go, so I want to get going on them right away.
Wave 1 is 3-5 thru 3-8 228 mailed
Sue - 100 *, Kathy in PHX - 60 *, Lyn - 15 *, Ally - 30 *, Terry T - 23 *
Wave 2 is 3-19 thru 3-28 mailed
Pat K - 30 *, Sue -18 *, Cindylaine - 25 *, m's mom (Joy) - 25 *, Natalie - 25 *, Ama - 12 *, Maryellen - 43 *
Mailed 406 and it is DONE!

Sue, The 15 were mailed on Sat. I just found out that they went out without the individual notes in them. My husband was doing me a favor but didn't realize that the notes with the e-mail address were suppose to go with each pc. He did put the Heads at Ease labels on the outside of the box.
I'll be out of town until March 26th. But I can mail 15 more after I get back, if you need them.

Thanks for letting me know Lyn. At this point save those 15 for the next group. I think we will finish this unit next week, but will confirm with our contact.
