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."

I was not aware that they have an e-form now. I have also only used the paper forms before. It would be good to know. I wonder if they have started doing that in Hickory and Conover too?

I am getting ready to send a package to my son in Japan. I normally use the paper custom form but thought this time I might do it online electronically. I mailed a package back before Christmas and was talking to the postal clerk at the city PO and he said they had been having some problems with the new electronic procedure but they were working the "kinks" out. My local PO is only a couple miles from me but does not have the equipment to do this but she said she could mail it only if I do it online. My question is has anyone had any problems with the online form and delivery, delivery delayed etc.? I really don't want to have to deal with a lost package. Thanks

Hi everyone, I live in Wake County. My son left April 2, 2013 for boot camp. His PIR is 5/31/13. I have finally finished making the arrangements, plane, hotel, rental car. I want to see my son and hug him and tell him I love him!
