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."

Hi everyone! My sailor is having his PIR tomorrow. I am sitting here thinking how LUCKY I am that my son will be at A school here in my home state. That should make it easier for us to see him occasionally over the next 18 months that he is here. He will only be 3 hours from our hometown, so Im super excited. I was not able to make it to his PIR so trust me as soon as he gets here and he gets the ok to have visitors on base or to have liberty off base this mama is gonna hug him soooooo tight and prob cry my eyes out cuz Im so PROUD of him and SO HAPPY he is close to home! Yay SC lol. Hope yall are having a great night :) anyone on here close to Aiken?

Southcarolinamom the phone calls would be a great help!! I just need to know what stores etc so I can pick them up..... Where they are and everything. Or they can send them on over to the Fleet and Family Sevices this week and they will get with me on delivering them as they are the ones helping me to get the cookies delivered.
To all the others that have offered to help etc. anything and everything is much appreciated!! I have started receiving some things from around my home but nothing else.... Please let me know for sure if you can help so I can plan accordingly!
Thanks so much for everything! GOd bless!

I am in Charleston so let me know what I can do to assist. Both of our sons are on deployment for Christmas so we will be out of town at our daughter's in Georgia. Do you have someone here who the cookies can be delivered to ahead of Christmas Eve?

I can help any way I can. I am upstate SC and not sure where you are located. I can send a gift card to buy some cookies or anything else I can do to help. Just let me know

HeatherT....I am wondering if maybe the bigger stores out there will donate some cookies for you to bring to our boys???? If you want I can make some calls for you. I am going to be at my sons PIR during the time you need help but I can try to help with any phone calls before then, let me know. Also, can people maybe send you gift cards to buy cookies? would that help???

Are you taking them to GC? I went this past Saturday and delivered bags of goodies to some sailors of moms who are on NFM Nuke school.
It was great.
