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."

Dunesmom - I copied this from the MA (Master at Arms) page ... don't know if you know about it, but for future reference! (For ANYONE who ships packages to military personnel)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ladies, I found this post on the A School group and thought I would pass it along. Several moms in that group have used it already. I plan on calling tomorrow! I knew about the flat-rate boxes, but not the free packaging materials. I LOVE THIS SITE!
Free USPS Packaging for Family and Friends of Service members
The United States Postal Service is providing military family members and friends with packaging materials to send packages to service members.
Call 1 (800) 610-8734, and select option #1, then #1 again, then #2 again and ask for the "Military pack."
Eight boxes, tape, packaging materials, and labels will be mailed to those who call. They will also provide an I.D. number to re-order. Please allow four to 10 days to receive the materials.

Well that's what i found out. You have to send the package to one person with a note inside that it is to be shared with others. We ended up with 6 boxes. 3 gals and 3 guys. the post office offers a military discount for the one size box but it has to have a FOP address. So if anyone does this let me know and i'll pass on what i've learned. Gotta love this sight, i think i learn everyday.

yep i got it, lol..

I would imagine you could send it to the entire group, but it might be easier if it went to the one with instructions to divide and share! lol Did that make sense? Too early in the morning!!

ok i have a problem hoping you all can help me out.. i'm sending out a care package, trying to , to a group. Where do i send it? Do i have to send it to one person and then they split it up with the others on the ship or where ever i can send it?
