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."

TickledTink: Remember, you are dealing with the USPS AND the Navy mail system...double jeopardy on letters getting there! But most do...sometimes it just takes a while. If he ends up being connected to a ship for his 1st duty, wait until you try to mail him something then! Even if in port...or dry docked....it takes a LONG time...like 3 weeks or more....even priority mail! I tracked the last priority mail I sent my son...his ship is dry docked...USPS delivered it to the Navy address in 3 days...took 17 more days to reach my sailor. UGH!

Got hubby's letter today. He said he got my letter marked #2, but not the first one. I mailed them both on the same day, so weird!

I am sorry I have been MIA most of the day. I have had a lot of pain on the right side of my face and thought it was from a tooth. I spent over 3 hours waiting to be worked in at the dentist office and they found nothing wrong, not as much as a single cavity. It hurts to yawn, hurts to eat and my glands are swollen along with a lot of pain. No clue what it is. I will have to wait until Monday to go to the DR because they are closed on Fridays :-( Thanks goodness for pain meds :-} I will be around off and on tomorrow as I work on the ribbons. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
