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."

PaMom, I will have at least 3 boxes. I have cereal, oatmeal, mac n cheese, slim jims, hot sauce, spicy chips, granola bars and some chapstick. I may have some more but not sure what all will fit so I'll let you know as soon as I have a total count.
I was thinking that this ship was on the news recently and this group would probably have been affected by what was going on so I am trying to make sure they know this Oklahoma mom is showing them some love and support1
