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."

Donnita, household goods shipments are usually kinda fast, but from one overseas base to another can be so variable. Three months? It should be showing up soon! He really needs to bug PPO and stay on top of the tracking. He should try to be proactive in locating his things..
PPO = personal property office.

Once they are in Japan, the Navy will start moving their stuff around whenever they transfer. If they go to a ship, it can go into storage. You should see the woodblock prints, china, teapots and kimonos I acquired there. And tansu (chests) and dolls and hibachi pots and even an old cast iron treadle sewing machine. But then, I got a little Japanese house and lived in it for nine years!
