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."

Just drop my boy off Tuesday. My heart is broken. I am so proud of him but I miss him so terribly. I grew military, married Navy so I know the road but this time is so much harder. Tonight is really been hard.

Congratulations to tylerandtony! I know you are soooo excited. Give him a big Navy Mom hug and tell him thank you for his service. I hope he accomplishes his goals while he is enlisted.

Thanks everyone. There is a library next door to the local PO which is just a couple miles from my house. I can go there and print the forms then go by the PO and mail it.

percussionvalentine, thank you for the information. navymomx2, if I can get my printer back on line with our network, you are welcome to come here and print your forms. You might save yourself a little time also by going to the library there or in Conover to pay $0.15 or $0.20 to print off the forms. I will try to work on my printer this weekend.

Yes I think they accept the e-form at every PO. My problem now is that I don't have a printer to print the forms :/ So it looks like I will still be making a 10 mile trip to the PO every time I need to mail a package. :/ I think I might as well just stick with the forms. I was talking to a clerk at the Hickory PO and he said that there have been some problems. Im not sure if it is with the actual system or if the info on the e-form is entered incorrectly.
