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."

Is it ok if we do not put a specific date on the calendar square?

Oh, they're not "prohibited," but as you said, you don't want to put anything on a calendar page that will embarrass them or get them razzed alot. When my son first got to his boat (5 yrs ago), he told me to never send him anything like that :-D

Lordy... I must be getting bad drugs! I meant for those tips to be for calendar pages! You don't want to put pix of sailors as little boys on CALENDAR PAGES!!! Ha, ha! k.

Thanks so much for the info Kendrasue! I see that you have already sent off your halfway box. Is there a special "size" that it has to be? Thanks!

I need some help, Can someone please email me and let me know where to send stuff. My son is horrible about picking up his mail from the post office. We sent him a midway box last cruise and he left it there till they got back. I would like to send it to the OMB this time. Thanks so much.

Tips for halfway boxes: (1) see "Halfway Boxes..." on the Sub Moms page, (2) DON'T send photos of him as a boy, (3) if you can get the Ombudsman's email address, you can create it in Word (sic) and email it to her to print off.
The two pages son I sent that son liked best were one with photos (off the internet) of all his favorite restaurants and food from each -and- one with photos of all his favorite GI Joes and Micromachines (posed on the kitchen table)!

His actual plan is to buy a shack and have a resturaunt on the bottom floor and live above it. I agree I think they just want to be able to be in the sun...
