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."

My daughter is graduating a school Thursday and supposed to come home Friday and then to Japan. Any wisdom on how they arrange travel when they make a stop before their final destination?

Ugh! The "kid in a box" was the worst! I did not like seeing her clothes that she left in returned.... That was a sad day.

Hello everyone, does anyone now how long it takes for the box to arrive, and how long before I get a letter about graduation, or for my son to write?

Please check out Molly's Adopt a Sailor Project for July. I'm Mom of the Month and we have a wonderful group of sailors, airmen, and soldiers to support in Afghanistan. If you can be a one box mom/spouse/dad, every bit helps! When you go to the July discussion on Molly's be sure to click "follow" so you will get updates to the project. Thanks for any help you can give.
