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."

Mike's mom.....When my son was deployed I sent him instant salsa in a can, we included canned chopped tomato's in the package. You can find the the instant salsa on line.
We use to include anything that was individually wrapped trail mix, snacks etc. It just made it easier to store and to share.
Good luck.

Thanks for the welcome. My daughter is flying back to VA tomorrow morning. She's on the Ike. Right now she's out with friends, she said she won't be out too late. Her friend who has been in the Navy for a year came home too this week and they have not been separated.
Praying for all our Sailors safe travels.
