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."

GCMB I mailed my daughter's to her on the Thursday before PIR and she had them. I wouldn't worry about solution if I were you (as long as you have a pair of new ones) because they won't get to put them in until Friday morning (at least they're not supposed to). I just shipped two pairs (separately) just in case. I just wrapped the little box up in brown paper and mailed it 1st class from the Post Office. I don't have any experience with the overnight thing for boot camp but I will tell you that I overnighted a lot of things to her once she got to A school and the box sat in a building for four days before she knew it was there. :) Hope this info helps...

I just sent out the last of the cards to my SR and I sent a few off to one of our other SR's. I had to chase the mailman down before he left! I probably should have sent them at the post office with express mail or something but I am going to hope they get there on time. If not, hopefully he will get them eventually. *shrugs* Oh well. Errands all morning and I forgot half the stuff on my list which got left on the kitchen counter...of course! Ack. Now...I have to go back out and get the rest of it. I just wanted to get home in time to get the cards out though. Groceries can wait, not like my tubby butt is starvin or anything, lol!!! Some days are just nuts for me, or maybe some days I am just nuts...either way!

Good Day everyone!
Went to Bible Study Fellowship today! The kids loved it and so did I! Then went to lunch at Pei Wei!! Yummy! Then had my dose of wheat grass juice for the week! I am pumped for the next week of packing, seeing family, meeting many of you, and most of all seeing my husband in his dress whites!
Sailor_mom1 got me thinking (after she got her deep tissue massage...lucky girl!) that I need a spa day!! Sooo, I will bring the spa to me after my kiddos go to sleep tomorrow night, and I am waiting for the webisode of Grey's A to post!!!! Off I go to find at home spa facial recipes, tips, tricks...etc!
@ Tiffs- you should def take off work!!
