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."

Possible idea's for Christmas
My daughter will be reporting to the USS George H W Bush at the end of November and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what she could use while there. She is an undesigned and will be there until she can attend the A school she wants. She already has a laptop and a Ipad.
Thanks

Hi, my daughter is on the Nimitz and she has her own set of sheets - I think she has Cars. So maybe some sheet set that she would like and a matching comforter/blanket.

Yes I agree w/Sherri. My daughter is on the Truman and did her own sheets/comforter--made it more homelike. I also heard DVDs (rewriteables) that she can dowload any pics to send home.

My daughter was on the Stennis....she loved her sleeping bag, kept her nice and warm. I also sent her a roll up shower organizer for her shampoo, lotions, hair clips ect, a robe towel for when she got out of the shower---she loved that! And then anything travel size...flat iron ect. I also did some photo books, through snap fish but I think you can do them at walmart too she enjoyed those and they didn't take up much room. And a Kindle, but remember with anything of value to keep close tabs on it...they have a habit of "walking away"! Just a heads up!!
