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."

Just sent my first package and tracked it as delivered to mail room yesterday; should be interesting to see how long till he gets it from there. No married in his class cuz they classed-up fast and the married people were moving their spouses. What is a S/O?

no... no married friends... he is one of the older ones in his class, and also one of the few with a S/O lol but luckily he was Mail PO for a while so he knows how the mailroom works, AND one of his good friends is still the Mail PO for the class, and knows to look out for things from me :) lol

thanks for the tips girls!

I've sent three packages to Aaron so far... My letters seem to take a week to get there, but my packages seem to get there faster. If I send it out on Monday, then he receives it by Friday. But there's no telling...

FN Doe, Jane
Class: 8796MT
101 NNPTC Circle
Goose Creek, SC 29445-6324

That's what Aaron's address looks like. Without the Jane Doe and a different class number, of course. :)
Comment by Hope-Nuke ET Wife on July 27, 2010 at 8:56am
Nicole- Does he have any married friends that could get the package for him at their house? (We are doing that for my husbands friends) I was told that packages get "lost" in the mail room for a long time on base and its easier for packages to be shipped to married friends and then he can get it from them.
Comment by Nicole loves Sean (EM-N (SS)) on July 26, 2010 at 11:43pm
hey ladies!
I have to send out my sailors birthday gift by the end of the week. What is the address format for sending a package to him while in A School?
Comment by mommajo on July 26, 2010 at 11:11am

Comment by mommajo on July 24, 2010 at 2:26am
Nicole - Jeff was in div 227 (the worst div ever LOL) When does your bf graduate A school?
Comment by Nicole loves Sean (EM-N (SS)) on July 23, 2010 at 10:55pm
mommajo- i think my bf was in the same bootcamp division as your son. I think they were actually pretty close in Bootcamp. did your son graduate from div 924?
