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.

maybe cute footprints like this?:)
Kate - i'll message you, i'm assuming you have a FB?

Hmm..pen works too, for fingers..im not sure you'd want to pen your foot, but a stamp pad would definitely work:)
FINGERPAINTING!!!

So true Nicole! I can't believe some of the WACKO stuff I do (and loving it). Fingerprints! Love it... Gonna do that. Maybe a stamp pad would work? What about footprint... hm. Hahaha. Yeah, I spray it with body spray - and in his letters he talks about when he will get to smell it on me at graduation. He has talked about it several times - I think he really likes that I have done it. I don't do it every letter though, so that he doesn't get immune and its is still a surprise, as much as it can be. Poems... I haven't done that, but I should.

Oh, something that I did that he talked about too was, when I was at the zoo I had someone take a cute picture of me with a monkey statue (hahaha) and then I send him the picture and told him he was replaced. Lol!! He got a huge kick out of that and told me he could kick the monkeys butt. Oh-so-fun!!
-
-
Haha, no problem:) ON N4M EVERYTHING IS OUTRAGEOUS, NOOOOTHING overboard:)
-
-
That perfume idea is GOOD:) fingerprints? LOL. make a thumb heart:)
-

I have sent a lot of pictures.. I actually have send him a braclett once and a flat charm (of something that means a lot to us) too. Lol. Even though he can't do much with them other than tie it somewhere he can see it or maybe keep in his pocket, he loved them. I sent him and "I miss you card" once, and a drawing from some kiddos that he is close too. Um, what else... I did do news articles, and I printed some from offline, but he told me last time he called that he can't keep anything that is not handwritten, so now I just summarize them in the letter. I am trying to be really creative! I try to always include his horoscope from the paper. Haha. Oh, and I spray the letters, like every other one I send, with my body spray that he is used to. Oh yeah, one time I kissed (with lip stick on) the flap before I licked and sealed the envelope - he loved that too. The main thing I think is to write a lot. My latest idea is that I am thinking about sleeping with a letter to him in my shirt, so that it smells like me - for real! Lol...... but I think that might be a little over board! Lol. What are your ideas anyone? More creative the better.
