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 sent evrything, a big box with lots of things through USPS priority mail 2-3 day with insurance and tracking, cost $54. it was going to cost a little over $100 if I shipped it overnight. Thought I'd save that extra money to but and ship him more things!

How did you ship the phone Amber? I did fedex the other day, sent his laptop and cell phone over night and a couple of dvds that he wanted ground and it came out to $107! But I was glad today when I found out he had gotten the laptop and cell phone.
I also just saw my sailor for the first time in his uniform :) he sent me a picture of his working uniform.

This past weekend was so amazing! I wish I could relive it over and over (except the Sunday evening "Goodby"... that was hard!). I feel so proud of him! I can already tell that A School is going to be so much better; he has called me THREE times today and he said he will call me again after they muster. Four calls in one day...life is gooooood :)

Everyone's tone is so different now! A lot more upbeat and happy because we have all seen or heard from our new sailors now :) Mine bought a phone...which has already been dropped in water but I am sending him his phone as well as laptop and a series of dvds today. I sent the laptop and phone overnight and the dvds ground. It still came out fairly expensive but it's what he needs, or I guess wants.

Amber-Brads mom - YES, if he ordered Pkg A, it comes with that package as a bonus, that's why you don't see it on the list. If any of you ordered the DVD, that takes about 6 weeks to arrive (to whatever address your sailor wrote down), but the Keel yearbook (aka Cruisebook) takes 12 wks. It was 8-10, but they made some changes with the publisher and now it's longer. My son's PIR was 6/4 and I haven't gotten his book yet!
